As are the vast majority of sport sedan/car owners. It's only on the forums that posturing about lap times, 0-60 times and all that other bullshit occurs. Most people can barely stay in their lane on the freeway, let alone turn some ridiculous lap time.

To me 60-0 is the probably the most important reference since it will be used by everyone that drives the car and is one of the most important factors for safety.

To all those that have never attended a HPDE in their own car:
I highly recommend it. Try one of the BMW or Audi track day events to learn what your car can really do but most important is learn how to control your car at it's limit in a safe environment. It might just save you from getting into an accident one day. Watch out though since they are highly addicting. |

IMHO, open lapping days at my local track are about the most fun to be had with a car. |

1) Texting 2) Applying make-up 3) Shaving 4) Posting on social media 5) Eating 6) Drinking Now those would be some real world lap times. |

LOL! They must also be leaned back in their driver's seat in a less-than-optimal driving position. |

It's worse... with that; apparently you can stop the outbreaks for extended periods of time. With this, you can't.

Yes, I'm not to blame, since looking like shit is such an outdated hobby, so I now actually use a mirror once in a while.

But it's not a good benchmark since there are so many different factors when comparing multiple 0-60 times
