I mean it's nice to know how cars compare on the track, but who drives like that everyday? To me there are a lot more things to consider than 1 or 2 tenths a lap on a track or 0 to 60. It is cool to see an American car show so well against the M3 at 2/3 the price though!  |
there are a couple different points to the article.
1) if you own a 2011 mustang gt w/ brembo brakes you now have bragging rights
2) if you are in the market for a track car/toy you now have an alternative to the usual M3/Cayman/Lotus suspects that is a lot cheaper to buy and maintain.
i agree that if your in the market for a daily driver a bit more is taken into consideration than performance numbers.
