my point wasnt to put weight in the 0 to 60 times but that all this nurburg testing has no objective value. i drive a miata (and that the corolla rip) with nothing more than suspension mods and the stickiest tires i can afford through a canyon to work every day, i know where youre coming from. for us you are right. for upwards of 90 percent of who buys the car...
