It's a lot more fun in my opinion. A lot more complicated too. And it lasts a lot longer.

I have ridden in lots of 11, 12, 13 second cars... on roadcourses... and the most boring part is their straight line speed. Did 160+ in a C6 Z06 on both straightaways at VIR the other weekend in fact, yawn. The climbing esses at 110+ in the same car during the same session was about 10000 times more fun.

But I'm admittedly biased, and I've never owned anything faster than a very high 13 second car, so maybe I'm doing it wrong
