| Apr 21, 2016 at 13:52 | comment | added | J... | @dotancohen I think if you're pushing strip tires to their limits on the street then you're probably trying to go to jail or something. Suspect if he's driving in that it's to get used to the clutch feel and engine response - not high speed handling. | |
| Apr 21, 2016 at 13:49 | comment | added | dotancohen | @CortAmmon: I've heard a dragstrip racer mention that as precisely the reason that he drives in instead of towing in. I wondered how the street tires vs strip tires would affect the familiarity he gets, but didn't think of that in time to ask him. | |

Also, I have driven a race tuned vehicle in stop-and-go traffic, due to some unfortunate maintenance issues in my commuter vehicle. It's a bear to start from a standstill repeatedly without the help of a heavier flywheel to smooth things out. Might qualify as good practice for learning exactly how your vehicle behaves, but it's mentally exhausting. | |
| Apr 20, 2016 at 14:47 | comment | added | Nelson | +1 for major enlightenment on what "performance" parts actually means. Basically if I drove a real race car to work every day, it will be very irritating at best, I will probably stall and have all sorts of very unpleasant experiences, and it will probably kill the car to boot. | |

| Apr 19, 2016 at 19:19 | comment | added | J... | @nocomprende No, I think I said that daily driving a race tuned vehicle in stop-and-go traffic would be a more laborious and stressful exercise than a typical commuter would tolerate. It probably wouldn't be any fun for a race car driver, either. | |
