Why the /6

805,

I realize that I am just poking..and have learned lots from this thread..and have a bit more respect for the /6...

But I am confused...

The only argument I am hearing other than to be different is for 1/4 mile speed....or like a v8 would do the 1/4 mile....perhaps you put more bucks into it and you are faster than a v8 on the strip....ok...

In real world terms...how does this really help you ?

As far as I know, our speed limits are the same..and very few of us will experience the need to blast down a 1/4 mile flat open..in fact, in Canada if you are caught racing, it will be very expensive...I have been driving for almost 40 years and I never have had the need to do it in any car that I have owned....

Am I missing something ?
