MAYBE we'll get crazy and go WOT on an on ramp or something. but other than that we use our high horsepower performance cars to commute in. the same job a Honda civic can do. we just decide we like to do it with big horsepower, and subjectively good looks.
you can tout lap times and performance figures all you want...but at the end of the day, you commute to and from work in it and it sits in a parking lot all day. you're not hitting apex's and setting record lap times.
stop it.

...So what's wrong with discussing Ring times in a thread about Ring times?...GM did it with the Z/28 and put up a video...It was great PR, lead to a lot of interest and enthusiasm about the car....
If you're in the percent that doesn't care about it, what needs to stop is the trolling in this thread...
You can mix it up with your 95% commuter buddies, who perhaps are just concerned with gas mileage in another thread...
Some of us track our cars....and the Ring is perhaps the ultimate test/showcase....so, yeah, it's interesting...I hope Ford does well, thatGM re-acts, and we get to see some videos...All good...
