Let us not forget that every driver in this forum including the ones who do not even have the license has different perspective in cars. Obviously, most of the members in this forum are enthusiasts or even psychos while some folks think cars are just cars to get you from point a to point b. The performance numbers does not indicate how fast you would be in that particular car. Some test cars can have a midgit with a gallon of gas. That said, you can have a good driver in a gallardo burn a bad driver in lp640. In terms of performance, i do not think 0-60 or 1/4 mile run is eveyrthing. someone can give me a porsche turbo yet i will pick gt3 instead for better handling. to me how the car does on corners is more important, yet there are people out there looking for the fastest 0-60 car. Why not pick up a 99 civic and throw in 20-30k dollars to hit 11 second 1/4 mile car? much cheaper than buying a z06 or a viper. Some people may even consider how balanced the motor is or chassis. Horsepower output isnt everything either. Sure, AMG cars can have 514 hps with 4000lbs. Sure the m5 motor puts out 507hp but it also weights 240kgs. Some people like TL type s but i would take 335i just because it is rear wheel drive and steers more precisely. It is what you want, not what the numbers tell you. Those performance figures are rather deceitful and often work like a double edged sword. I believe those figures and commercial-details are meant to be there often times exaggerated to hide some of the flaws and weaknesses. f vs lambo and AMG vs. M......what do you value the most? Gas mileage? HP? Chassis? Suspension? Sound system? value? torque? hot rod? classics? Egear or six speed? awd or rear wheel? rr or fr?
