people who do track their cars don't need other people's data because they're generating it on their own, and are likely smart enough to realize that all of the variables at play would make it pretty much worthless to them.
I should clarify that I'm looking for 1 lap data, which could somewhat represent a few back to back street pulls.

Sustainability = reliability. That sustainability is important, because if you can't sustain it, then there's a really hard limitation somewhere...
