Come on now mr. economist, you don't have a representative sample with only 3 data points.  My only point is that the average driver is not going to be able to crank out mid 11s in a 660HP car; that's a lot of car to handle. And the fact that two of the rags posted 12.2 and 12.3 provides some evidence for that point.
In regards to your STi comment, it should't go in flames but I know it would too. |
Very true, very true. However, I'm basing the notion that 12.3 is a horrible time on the fact that 12.3 is what some of these mags ran with 2011s and we have already seen an 11.6 and 11.8 at the same track on the same day. I don't know about you, but if i ran a 12.3 in the exact same car someone else just ran an 11.6 I would be embarrassed.
