Message	different cars at different tracks with a SAME condition (60ft,1320ft,1/4 mph). People from Japan ,UK, Australia,USA, Middle East can compare their car's acceleration with the same track condition. How are you gonna compare road course perfomance, say between Laguna Seca and Suzuka in Japan? The road are different, the twisties are different, and the lap distance is different. I took my 2+2 to a road course in MI (Gingerman Raceway, South Heaven) and had a best lap of 56 sec. Now what the hell does this mean? Can I compare it to a Eagle Talon that ran a 2min 49sec in Laguna Seca? Or A dude in his Supra ran a 3 min 37sec in Suzuka. Is it good compare to my 56 sec in Gingerman Raceway? Hmmm......
