It took me 2 weeks of driving a V8 Vega when I was 18 to realize that the fact that one car will out accelerate another doesn't make anyone more manly. There is zero skill involved and a fair quantity of "Being too stupid to just drive your own car" with getting sucked into a street acceleration race.

The skill in driving comes in when we are talking about traffic awareness, braking, and cornering.

In otherwords: Control.
Control includes not letting some dork going vroom vroom next to me change the way I am driving my car.


BTW- The Viper thread is funny: The guy being busted and how important it is to the average person in that thread to have out accelerated some other brand of car.
