Exactly. These "enthusiasts" believe that faster track times is the end all of an objectively overall better car.
That is completely false. Faster track or drag times is literally just one factor in what makes a car better or improved.
I have no doubt the G8x will be faster than the F8x in most if not all numbers, but it is most definitely worse in many other factors, which when combining all factors together, does not objectively mean a better car. |
The only objective merit is
performance. Performance improvements are the only measurement by which opinion is invalid. EVERYTHING else is subjective, so there's nothing else "
definitive." The opinions regarding aesthetics, feel, shifter, materials, etc. all vary from person to person, so to state that certain things are "
most definitely worse" renders your opinion the only conclusive/valid one. Maybe they are/will be worse from your vantage point, but not necessarily someone else's.
