but good try.  |
You're absolutely correct <makes note to himself not to race a car on a track with race tires...that'd be dumb wouldn't it?!>.
However, this only serves to demonstrate my point that
by far the biggest variable responsible for the difference between the times/speeds these cars achieve against each other will be the driver.
Both cars are unquestionably fast.
What will the premium be on a E92 M3 CSL? More than the premium on a MTM supercharged B7 RS4?
How about a comparison between those two?
Valid or not?
