When to start braking, how hard to brake, heal/toe, proper gear selection, correct driving line, throttle modulation during cornering, when/where to go WOT during corner exit, etc. There's a reason why games like Gran Turismo are popular, and why there aren't any successful racing games that have you running down a drag strip over and over.

Well we aren't talking about video games here.. My last car was most entertaining during straight line runs and capable on a road course as well..
I love the handling of this car and all.. But to say there is no value in straight line accel.. Is just ignorant and wrong.. The only reason I went to a slower performance car was purely one of economics... Not because straight line speed is boring or worthless as some are trying to believe..
