And also, speaking of realistic... I've read too many stories of people with 350-400 horsepower (and similar TQ) numbers being "sideways in 4th".... what kind of tires these guys running? What rear gear??!?! 225mm tires and 4.11's??
With 295 Goodyear Eagle GTII's, I can roll on in 2nd and keep it straight at full throttle. Granted, it's dancing a bit, but it's straight. In 3rd, traction is a non-issue unless I'm shifting like a moron.
I'm not calling anyone in particular out at all, not like I could even remember who's said what and when, but... just seems like sideways in 4th is not something that's happening with 295mm tires and 500+ horsepower.
