that's fair, diff tracks/groups definitely do run things differently... historically i've done about half of my annual days in a "club" setting where it's just open track for members so i'm more sensitive to the mix of skill levels involved. I've seen enough offs/wrecks over the years due to...

The general argument for srf vs motol is longgevity. I use motul, but i don't mind bleeding/flushing the brakes a few times a year, it seems srf is good for a full season from what I've read about it, so overall cost may be similar depending on your maintenance routines.

I disagree, novices tend to overuse/overheat brakes more than fast/experienced drivers from what I've seen. Any person on a track with any level of repetitive braking should take the precaution of using high temp fluids and proper pads. I certainly don't want anyone near me on track that doesn't.

Can I speculate and complain about people not comprehending what the OP is asking?

And yet YOU quoted my 2 second off pace of a GTS comment and replied with nonsense about making up time vs a gt3 in the first corner.

You missed it apparently, you aren't making up 2 seconds against a GTS on a road course. That's a huge gap. And LOL if you think this car will make up speed against a GT3 in the 1st turn...

Wow, 2 seconds off a GTS is a HUGE gap.

apparently that's not an SUV to the person I was responding to lol...

You misread or I didn't express it correctly then, because I'm primarily concerned with road course. I don't like giving point by's, and really enjoy passing off line in corners, so the car needs to handle AND accelerate well.

Better example, which would you buy, an Elise or an Exige if they were both the same price? edit, maybe not the best example, my point is if you could buy a car with all other things being equal, one with 200hp and one with 300hp.. I'd bet money most people would always opt for the higher...

Exactly. Especially if you're already accustomed to other cars in the 3.xx range. I LOVED driving my buddy's GR86, but would only buy one if it had something north of 300hp, just not enough thrust as-is.

I don't think it's an ego thing, it's a real measurement of acceleration capability, and since only a small % of us actually use cars in a manner where 50-60mph is the slowest part of the range, for street driven cars 0-60 makes more sense. 60-120 is a more useful metric for me, but nobody...

Hint: it's weight.

Welp. I'd like you to help me understand why this 420 hp suv is only a 6 second 0-60 then. https://www.caranddriver.com/gmc/yukon-yukon-xl

IF you were right, that "it's just plain stupid"... well then I guess the fact that every single performance car mfg publishes these numbers as marketing AND they generally get tested by owners and media is all for naught. You can enjoy your car however you wish, but the issue here is that...
