The object of a drag run is to run it as fast as you can....otherwise wth are you doing out there. And if you aren't visiting the drag strip and it's just your cruising machine, why would you care about 0-60, 1/4mile...etc. You essentially bought it to look good in, so just do that...don't get why bother trying to refute mag numbers because they launched higher than other mags.

In my area, I see Z06 vettes being driven by mid-life crisis dude who are doing under the speed limit on the interstate. Does that represent the cars performance in the real world?

I just don't follow man sorry.

Sorry I don't follow you and how you think clutch drops at 5500rpm represents anything that the average driver would do.
