Understood.
I'm anything but a drag racer, but I think the perception between 3.7 and 3.5 seconds zero to 60 will be bigger than what the actual difference really amounts to, and that the bragging rights will matter to some. To others, under-estimating or underpreparing for the GT500 a second straight time wouldn't look good at all.
Never mind that most owners might never be able to match either number in 100% stock form or anywhere but on a prepped dragstrip, it's the perception that maybe they could . . .
