Is it?? Since when? You can hunt around for a niche for it like the proud Exige owners I've met, but all ANYONE cares about is 1/4 mile. There are too many tracks of different lengths to even begin to use track performance as a yard stick.
Oh suuure there a short straight tracks like the one by me that let owners of brand X cars brag about their lap times.. But everyone can relate to a 1/4 mile.
These local Exige owners who rant about their high-G early Sunday morning runs out by the GM Proving Grounds (who knew - or
cared..?) make me LAUGH. One guy I met probably weighs as much as his car.
whoop dee frikkin doo
Anyone can build a dedicated short track car that doesn't require a lot of HP.
When did track times instead of 1/4 mile times ever generate car sales ??
Never
