Disappointing?!

Wow.

Anything remotely close to 2 minutes for a street car should be celebrated on VIR Full Course. That's a 3.3 mile long course with a great mix of turns at different speeds and is a fantastic test for cars with a good combination of handles and power.

For a point of reference, a Dodge Viper GTS MK-V would do 1:57 and change there. That's a full aero race-car disguised as a street car on slick tires.

Let that sink in, and have some perspective please.

I suppose that if one were to be disappointed by a $60K street car can come within 3 seconds and change of the mighty Viper GTS, one can be disappointed by anything.

Perspective, people.
