Byron's discussion was clearly (to the rest of us) about acceleration and your response should have been in context to the discussion you responded to... not off on some tangent created to boost your ego. Get past yourself already.
Well I did address him straight up. I said that a Noble is an example of a car that is street legal that I would consider having better performance. How is that not straight. I just was not sure what type of performance was meant. Road track, 1/4 mile, etc., there are different types of performance metrics and different cars for different types of racing. Saying that it leaves Z06s behind is great but this still does not tell me the type of performance measurment that you are using. To me true overall performance is demonstrated on a road track but for others it may be something else. You should just relax. I was just trying to point out that if road racing is the measuring stick that a Cobra would not touch a Noble but if the measuring stick is different then it may be a different result. For example, I would not be interested in a car designed for 1/4 mile racing but that may be the thing for others. And again, you are very mistaken to suggest that a Noble can't accelerate. Anytime you want to see some acceleration you are welcome to hop in for a ride.
