So few "instrument" reviews published on our cars (vs. the endless Youtube videos), it's hard to tell who had a bad day, tested at odd temps, if the S55's advantages just weren't reached, or what. .1 or .3 seconds here or there are such small amounts of time that can lost or gained in so many ways.
I think we might need robot car testers and bio-dome-enclosed test tracks to cut down on variables or we'll all have to stop worrying about it so much. Oh, and only one tire manufacturer with one tire model will be allowed to put tires on all cars for testing.
I used to enjoy these articles and the debates they caused, but I've been burned out on the whole thing a bit by the near-hate back and forth from the OG M2 vs. M2C arguments, and the drive-by sniping from some folk who don't own either one. A lot of it still seems to be the Fast and the Furious affect on car culture. I really don't remember a .1 second quarter mile win being taken so seriously before that movie, but maybe I just knew nice people when I spent more time on tracks in the pre-internet days.
I guess I just never did live my life a 1/4 mile at a time. Drive happy, folk.
