Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / joy
English term or phrase: joy
The new car was fast, while its massive Girling disc brakes hauled the Cobra down from high speeds with ease.
And the xxx four speed gear box made going through the gears a joy.
To demonstrate the 427 Cobra’s overall performance capabilities, driver Ken Miles took the 427 from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in 13.8 seconds on street tires.

MUCHAS GRACIAS

Perdona que pensé había borrado "gozo" y reemplazado con "placer". En realidad, placer es la más apropiada.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ver los atardeceres en la playa es un placer.
  • Ver los atardeceres en la playa me da satisfacción.
