We all own beautiful sports cars that attract admiring glances and compliments. Most of us never drive our cars on a race track. Yet when a new model comes along, one that will go from 0 to 60 a half second faster than what we are driving, we are foaming at the mouth, wild with anticipation, willing to wait months and eager to lose thousands of dollars on a trade in. And I am one of you!

Yes, a small percentage would or could actually use the added performance. However, even though most won't track their cars, performance is what sells new Corvettes. I'd be hesitant to buy the next generation of vette if it wasn't better in most respects, including performance, and I don't track. So yes, I'm also interested in what the car can do, 0-60, skid pad numbers, braking, what's happening with the electronics and so on.

I do drive my cars on the track.
I often run into cars that are SUPPOSED to be 0.5 to 6 seconds faster around the track than what I am driving at the moment.
I generally pass them twice in a 20 minute session.

I personally bought my C7 GS to enjoy on the road and on road courses. I've done both.
So +1 for the people that actually track their cars.
