Its not that simple, the damping factor of the pulley is designed for the natural frequcency of the engine. Unless u r in the engine design team, I don't know how one can find out.
try to google why the golden bridge collapsed in SF

My plan is keeping the E60 and getting the Exige S (Or something great fun to drive )
)hopefully it won't turn out to be e60 + a 7-seater. :thumbsdown:

Ansolutely awesome!! I know it might not sounds right, but the MRS might be the best fun car i have ever driven.
(Yes! Better than other monsters i've driven before!)
It just gives you the original driving experience with no ESP or whatever you name it, that makes me wanna get the Exige S

if it's resonance you are talking about you don't need months to find out. the vibration absorbor on the pulley said 400-450HZ (or sth like that), I dunno how they find out.

Sounds awesome. Is it as neutral as the bmw? Eg, how does it behave going into the corner and exit. Have u ever tried a power slide?
, the steering is light and feel Japanese on MRS but you know exactly what it is doing 
Never really get it power slided cos of the grip level is so high, i had tried to drift it in the car park but no success,
Was doing around 50mph, turn in hard and full throttle but still no sucess.
Didnt try the handbrake becos that my car
Or maybe i am not brave enough
The mid-engine car has mighty level of grip and very well balanced,
but you got to be careful when in rain, they are very tail happying

hopefully it won't turn out to be e60 + a 7-seater. :thumbsdown:
