I think the allure of the 1320 is it's got more accessible metrics. As every road course is different, I can't go and post my lap time at NMSP as it means nothing to the rest of the world. Even the mile is hard to compare fairly as conditions at the top are so impactful. I see a lot of guys respond to mile speeds like "no big deal - I've had my car at 170!" They have no clue. Just like the guys that are at 12.5 and are sure they are just a good shift away from 10's!
Not to mention cost....I need a helmet and $20 to drag my car all night. What does a day at the road course cost? Safety equipment costs?
