Actually you just quoted him...

Not that he has told you...

WTF would that prove? Prove that all the "exotic" is good for is just to give a single car demo? Prove that the cars clutch and drive train is too brittle to be beat on from a stand still?

Rolling starts of any type are pretty stupid in anything except races of some distance around a race track.

In the real world of street driven cars they are just a novel poinless past time - as you never know who wins because they jumped the start.. and who wins because the NOS Diablo SV is really as fast as they claim.

Sounds like you are involved in a long distance relationship there.
