My son and I have this discussion several times. We see these neato scenes with those two cars makes ripping up closed course canyon roads they've driven thousands of times. They might take it to a famous racetrack or a racetrack they own.
Oh, this one turns in slightly better or the steering feels better at the limits of the grip in a corner or goes sideways, tires smoking through a corner that's four lanes wide.
I mean who does that with their new pride and joy expensive car? What, we are supposed to be going to the track or our own private road course every other day. I don't want to risk losing it in a corner going 100 mph on the highway!
That seems to be what GM and Ford are selling.
Now, on the other hand, how many times do you get to accelerate up an entrance ramp or take it to the drags? Here you can go on the 1/8 mile no prep track as many times as you want for $20. Maybe the snotty kid in his dad's Beemer decides he's going to show you up on the 0-50 mph at the stop light and jumps out hard.
That's what Dodge is selling.
