Well, since we seem to have hit a stand-still in our dating life and our lowlife / alien / deity exterminator lives, it's time to get back to what's truly important....

Cars!

We're starting to amass a decent chunk of cash thanks to all the dead thieves and ballerinas, so let's convert it all into car parts at the shop.

Ok, we've got close to 700k yen at our disposal, and a one second performance we gap we have to close, so I'll spend:

300k on a mid-range, second turbo charger for some extra power.
210k on lightweighting to remove all the extra weight on our car, and
140k’s worth of aero tuning to reduce our air resistance at speeds.

This leaves us with 169hp - which doesn’t seem a huge jump, but, noticeably our torque has bumped up - 19.1 kg / m. I expect we've got a much improved power to weight ratio as well.

I'm feeling good about this one, Goons. This could be Taro's first race win!

Let's head to the docks….

: The other car is a Roadster. Shall we compete?

Another Roadster eh? Yes. Let's go.

Time to see what these cars are truly made of.
