Gazoo did some nice things on this car, but not on the motor performance side.

I am not directing this at you in particular. However we have a lot of people here who cant see past the typical cookie cutter mod list because the "forum said so". Yet have a negative opinion on new ideas while never trying anything out the box themselves. Sitting around and talking versus doing I suppose.
Are you referring to this video?



Because if so, not really a realistic comparison. All the vehicles in that race are modified, to an extent that we don’t entirely know. Additionally, the GRMN driver is diving in early, early apexing on some corners, missing them entirely on others, and running a fairly inconsistent line compared to the car he’s chasing.

I wouldn’t really use that example to gauge the performance between a standard 86 and a GRMN.
