You dont know me. BTW I think they are decent drivers at best, good drivers can cut tenths off of magazine times stock. Car and Driver and especially Road & Track are horrible with times. Motor Trend seem to have the best test drivers, they run decent 1/4 times.

In my other post, I was just saying that most people will not drop clutch, power shift, or slip their clutches from high RPMs on a regular basis. It won't give you fast times, but who needs to race from light to light.
