I hear what you're saying.

But, consider that with it's definite lag on launch and having to lift unexpectedly in turns, it may not offset it's weight advantage. I wasn't on a radar gun, nor did I have my car making the same run to compare, so I just don't know.

But, I have run my car on the same track and at the very least, it felt much faster.

In the past, that was always one of the things about sports cars. Despite their often small displacement and low to average HP ratings, they always seemed faster than they really were. But, that didn't matter to your adrenal gland, as far as it was concerned, you got the impression and the thrill that you were really flying!

Cheers!
