      @@Brandizzleizzle there is certainly a limit to it dictated by what the human body can handle but inevitably almost no matter how much power you have you will eventually become accustomed to if. 350 HP in a small car feels very fast going from dailying say a Prius, but that 350 feels like a Prius to someone who daily drives a Hellcat, and the Hellcat can even feel like a Prius to some of the crazy drag racer guys. I remember seeing a video discussing how astronauts react to launching, and the one point that really stuck out to me was how they’d become so used to the acceleration and G-Force that despite feeling like they weigh over 3 times their normal weight, their heart rate doesn’t even increase at all during launch. If someone can become accustomed to literally accelerating off the earth, then they will inevitably become used to even the fastest cars men can build

      Bought a racetrack right before the world shut down, hurting for hundreds of thousands of dollars to make it fully ready, just found out he can sell his (extremely rare) dream car, which has half the power of what he wants and can barely be modded---and make a profit off it---to pay for all sorts of stuff he needs done... yeah I'd do it, too.

    Not that you need any of us fans permission to sell your car but I for one thank you for putting the track and the fans ahead of your car. I can't wait to sit down on the new bleechers and watch the Freedom 500 or drifting or whatever is going on that weekend.
