so let's face it: we love our cars, many of us (including myself) drive them daily, but we tune our cars, and inevitably we want to compare our cars. But this raises a few questions (highlighted in the 2860-5 turbo thread).
- dynos seem to be about as accurate a yardstick as using pebbles to measure our manhood, and then comparing them online (mine is 42 pebbles?
)
- anyways, is horsepower really a decent measure in saying "my car is better than yours"?
- which leads me to think, the only really decent measure is a quarter mile time. But that brings into play driver ability.
- and should driving skill count? Does it matter if you've got the fastest Skyline around, if you've neither the balls nor the skill to outrun a mildly tuned Silvia? I'm inclined to say yes, although what do we say about the 60-year old punter who just took delivery of his Bugatti Veyron? Clearly, the car is a monster, but will it ever be driven in anger, or even spiritedly?
in other words, does it matter if your manhood is fifteen inches long if you can't ever get laid, or can only get your engine running once in a blue moon? I'm speaking of Skylines, of course...
