It isn't like drag racing where the most noticeable difference between cars is how quickly it does a 1/4 mile. Tracking a car amplifies every aspect of a car and those are the things a guy loves or hates about his ride.
Seems like this car is made for trackers as well. At the same time, if i can have a more comfortable car that peforms better than some other track focused car i would rather have that. Yeah some people are just into mustangs, vette's, etc. etc. Which i can respect that, at the same time im not really brand loyal to anything specific. Whatever gives me the most (of what i feel is important) for my money i'll go with that. Obviously everyone is going to have different things they feel is more important, which is why they make different models/makes.
While drag racing is fun, your not buying these types of cars to do that...typically. And absolutly a road course while show all faults and advantages a car has over another performance wise (and how it pairs with your specific driving style). If this was going to be a track only car i wouldn't care about the ammenities that would just make no sense. However if it was going to be somewhat of a weekend car, i can go without having a minimal amount faster lap time for the added conveniece of turning on the a/c instead of sweating my ass off on 75 during rush hour in the middle of summer. Seems like your into vipers a lot, and this is obviously the most focused one. It's a badass car either way a/c and radio or not.
