It's easy to get caught up in specs as each year more blisteringly fast, affordable cars come out. With 650 horsepower Mustangs and exotic-crushing GTRs available under $100,000, it's hard not to be enamored with the performance available to enthusiasts today.
The big joke is that you can't use even a fraction of that performance on the street and the limits are so high that they're difficult tools to exploit on the track without being extremely dangerous. Amateur drivers like the majority of us struggle to learn anything in these cars despite passing almost everyone in our run group. Meanwhile, someone in a $3500 Miata is probably twice the driver as a result.
