But you understand my point, right? Any drag strip surface has been prepped. Repeatedly. Prepped and prepped and prepped. Over and over. It's just a matter of how much time passed since the last prep. Probably not much if it's a drag strip that gets any use.
Yes, probably significantly slower. But I'm sure it will still be relatively quick.
So where should they test it? A dirt road? Brand new asphalt? Concrete?
Probably faster.
My first suggestion would be to use the same "typical" asphalt surface they use to test every other car. This would mean no caveats are required to explain how they got better performance than the car mags and end users will get. The number wouldn't be quite as great, but it would also be a more honest representation of the typical performance.
Seems like they weren't happy with the performance at their typical test surface, so they had to step up to a "non-prepped" 1/4 mile track.
Could be, and there's a safety argument to be made as well.
You mean like when they went to the drag strip to test the 2018 Mustang GT?
