Generally, the people who say that, do have a slow car. Or something with low amounts of tq.
However, I also understand what the small percentage of people who say that and what they mean. And that would be those who tend to road race (I.E. auto-x) To make a long story short, take what ever car you have on a drag strip and put it on a road course and it is going to be much more challenging than going in a straight line.
Haven't taken the truck to an auto-x event in a while because it's very demanding on tires and brakes. But I will soon, hopefully.
I like both forms of racing but most don't. Don't get me wrong driving anything that runs at least low 13's is some what challenging. And running mid 10's is a chore. But running a 10 second beast through a series of chicanes followed by a hairpin. And good luck on holding your apex.
Sorry to ramble on a tyraid. Just had to get my 2 cents out.
Disclamer, this post in no way was aimed at, or intended to piss anyone off. Any offense of this sort was solely an accident.
