Look at the MPH or trap speed, that gives you somewhat of an idea of how fast the car really is. And as me and forjunky have said, a set of DR will get our cars better1/4 times than the AWD cars, because we trap anywhere from 106-112 depending on the car and driver. Those things only trap around 103.

I think you are missing my point here. I'm not talking about straight line speed. I am talking about track performance, not drag. There isn't one American car that can match an, on a track, Evolution MR or STI under the C6, which is 45k as opposed to 30-32k. This a huge problem. It's no secret that lower end handling on American cars is non-existant. It's no secret that Car and Driver and Motor Trend rarely mix Japanese/European and American cars (40k down) on the track because it's a bad match up. It's no secret that the world looks at American cars as nothing but heavy barges that turn leftish and rightish. If you're happy with that, I can't change that. Personally, I am sick of it.
And if you say something like, "Well straight line is all that matters on the street." then again, why do people brag about top speed? Because they have the car magazine numbers to back it up.
