Do people actually take lap times into consideration when buying a new car...? I couldn't care less what times a professional driver can do on a track that my car will likely never visit. Is this something that people bring up when talking to others about their car "uhh yeah, with a professional behind the wheel, it'll do XXX time around Laguna Seca." I can't say I've ever heard anyone actually talk lap times except for 10 year olds on video games. Buy a car for how it makes you feel, for your own reasons. 99.99% of drivers on the road will never be close to skill of a pro driver, so lap times mean nothing. Far too many variables, skill included, to make lap times relevant.
