I got issues. Can I blame Ambien?

^^^interesting!

All of those cars are essentially within a second of each other. That's a bit on the track, but that's just "a hair" on the street with your average driver and an unprepped surface

Wonder what it was like in the 2000's to feel like hot stuff in a recent sports car, but then starting to sweat during a stoplight jaunt when a high school kid and his buddies thrashing mom's new Toyota Camry was on your quarter panel!!!

A recent sports car? Like 2010 and up? They are all much faster than the Accord or Camry.l

I can tell you my fat as* Caprice runs mid 13's and have no problem with the current crop of Honda, Toyota sedans. The Kia Stinger on the other had is beast. Those FWD jobs don't run even close to that one the street with wheel spin and torque steer. The RWD stuff destroys them.

This is always interesting. It is at least good baseline.

No, like the 98+ cars you compared them to. The "then" recent sports cars compared to 2009 vintage family sedans.

Hence "in the 2000's" in my post.

Different than just 10 years earlier in the late 90's when I drove family sedans as a new driver. My 3800 powered GMs and V8 Cadillacs were snoozefests in every way. They were WAY slower than a proper sports car. And historically, that's the way it always was

Now we live in different times. Even a average family sedan has some balls and is relatively nimble...

So, in 2009, a Camry being only 1 second off of a sports car under ideal conditions at the track? I think that's very commendable!

Absolutely not true.
Reason is that by the time you develop desired speed in Camry or Accord you already fell asleep.
