It takes literally half a second to double click an M1/M2 button and be ready to launch. I'm not sure I understand your statement.
I have never been in a 5-60mph race, EVER. Who shuts it down at 60? Either from a dig, or 40-50-60 roll is typical.
I understand to each their own and If you only want a good 5-60 time without using launch control, then yea I agree this might be the wrong car for you. |
i just don't like dealing with lag anymore. i used to have fbo e85 gtr that would run a 10.4 @ 135, had a bm3 tune on my f80 (ended up taking it off and going to a CS tune). quick cars. but after going to a 'slower' 458 and 991.2 gt3, i prefer having instant throttle response coming out of corners on backroads where your on and off throttle constantly through corners.
when you put your foot down in a 3.0L S55 or S58, even at 4-5k rpm. the turbo has to spool up before you get max power. you can see it on the roll race video with tesla 3 and g80... 3rd gear @ 50mph and the g80 doesn't start rolling past until 105-110mph.
if you like racing other people on the strip or highway rolls / digs... then yes. cars like the g80 or gtr are great. especially with the tuning capability.
