Bullshit. Now Im sure you wouldnt say a that modded IROC is better then your vette when I beat you in straight line, oh and on the street, its all straight, at least on this continent. |
It's all related to where the encounter takes place.
If you are out prowling the freeways,, and try to take some on on a roll-on... then that's what you better be prepared to win at.
All this "but if we werer at such-and-such place I would beat you" is just ricer and bench-racer talk.
It all comes down to the road at the moment of the meet.
So - back to our freeway scenario - if a F360CS comes across a uber-super-tuner-over-the-top AMG E55 with 1200hp and the E55, with 5 people on board blows the F360CS into the weeds from 10mph upto 230mph - then on the day and in the scenario the F360CS is the
loser
End of story.
Had the 1200hp E55 tried to take on the F360CS at Laguna Seca and lost - then on the day on
that road/track the E55 is the
loser
That is the reality of performance cars/.bikes. You can "ricer talk" about numbers all day long - but when the flag drops the bullshit stops, and you better be ready to take on the opponents of the moment on the road you find yourself on.
This is why the one universal constant is the
the person with the deepest pockets has the fastest ride Always
The 360CS might bump into the E55 a week later at Road America only to find that the car was rebuilt with super-exotic mods that dropped the wieght, upped the power and turned it into a road-race demon
- that's the power of money
hehe
On the day - the guy that wins has you beat - no excuses
my own little board..
Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.
