also, ronin...
have you ever accellerated remotely close to a 10 second 1/4 mile? i seriously doubt it... as if you were even a passenger, you would have more respect for drag racing...
'any idiot can go fast in a straight line'
that may be true for a stock auto with an automatic... but far from any realistic experience.
i think you ought to modify what you said to
'any idiot with an idiot type car can hit vmax in a straight line'
or something to that nature...
since you live in CT, next sumer, you ougth to goto Cedar Pointe in Sandusky, OH and ride the 'top thrill dragster' i think that you would find a new appreciation and respect for drag racing just riding a dumb roller coaster that accellerates you from 0-120+mph in 4 seconds... the feeling is fucking incredible, and just think... how much distance you are covering in that short period.
you are talking out your arse based on flawed opinon.
last time i checked, 8g's is something only fighter pilots, and drag racers do. ... not F1 drivers even in high speed turns, or braking.
if you continue to have this same opinion... i can do nothing more, and will say nothing more
