370z Rivals?

I have always found it comical how so many people who only drive their cars on the street (or even on the track at well below it's maximum capability) are so concerned with each tenth of a second when looking at competitor's cars. Most of these people would get their asses kicked by a professional driver in a "lesser" car. Bench racing at its finest.

I learned this lesson on sportbikes.

But Car and Driver says my car is .00002 seconds faster to 60. That makes it the best, right?

Absolutely, Chuck, because we all know when you drive your car to 100% of its limit 100% of the time, every .00002 seconds counts.

Could make a difference on a road trip to ... say ... Alpha Centauri.

Is it better to go there in the summer or the winter?
