Back when I was younger and my dad travelled back and forth to england for work we watched the races they would have where they blocked off the city streets and raced and it seemed like your car could have all the engine mods you can throw money at, if it cornered like shit then the slower guy could beat you around turn and generally get far enough ahead of you to leave you in the dust........Discuss.........

p.s. reason why i mentioned this is because you have people all the time saying "oh my civic/srt4/integra/whatever car beats mustangs and corvettes all the time" or whatever. I'm just wondering who's car can stand up to the test of an ACTUAL race not a 10 pedal mash for a 1/4 of a mile.
