The thing that puts things in perspective for me is being in the old automatic Sigma with the old man when I was a kid and him taking most of the trip from Yorktown to Edithburg to get the old tonne out of the thing (23 km trip and sat on 155 till he found a big enough hill ).

The Pig stock did 161KP/h stock in the 400m at the plex.

Have teenagers abilities ( or sensibilities ) behind the wheel improved to cope with this sort of performance differential??? If anything I would say teenagers these days are even less prepared than they were 20 years ago when the old man would take you out and teach you on some of the dirt back roads well before you were allowed on the road.
