Exactly my point. HP is creating bad habits and covering their mistakes. Making a crappy driver.

Maybe true, but not everyone's goal is to be the best driver in the world. Some people just wanna have fun. Lots of idiot-proof torque is fun to a lot of people.

An RX-8 on street tires can do at least 118 on the front straight at Putnam.
