You also get your rocks off on the track much more often than most mere mortals do.


I drive 5-10 over no matter the car. Rental Kia Rio with whatever HP they have, 75-80 in a 70 zone. 300whp MR2 75-80 in a 70 zone. Boss 302, 75-80 in a 70 zone.


I don't change my speeds due to HP, just how much throttle I use to get there
