I’ve often said that folks like Jeremy Clarkson get the best 5 minutes or so out of a car on the test track. For, most of us will never really be able to experience these car’s full potential, nor would most of us feel quite right thrashing our $100k “investments” around.

I agree with PH, whenever you read articles written about cars there are always ‘verifications’ of 0-60 times, how the back end breaks away when driven enthusiastically, how its possible to even spin the tyres in third and how the acceleration really kicks in from 6000rpm to the red band….ummmmmmmmm no thanks I’ll leave those press cars alone! Maybe if its only been tested sympathetically by you Phil, but I am sure you are in a minority, after all we want the cars to have been tested to their limits by enthusiastic drivers-and I agree the previous owners may have thrashed their cars, but not usually day after day on a race track or test circuit!!
