Just about any car once converted to 'race trim' can go out and kick butt. I think the test here was with a fairly typical SPF, like you might find anywhere in the country. As opposed to a 'ringer', which a race preped FFR would be, or a race preped BDR, etc.

At any rate, I think the test itself makes for some interesting reading, but I wouldn't take it to seriously beyond that, just good fun with a couple of good cars. If theres ever a 'next time' perhaps an original Comp car, close to as delivered from the factory spec, compared to a typical SPF tweaked to maximize performance. NOT a 'ringer' you see, but a good solid well built and sorted out SPF. Hal Copple's car to mind, very typical spec SPF, race proven and yet a 'daily driver'.

Wait, were the Comp cars EVER driven as 'daily drivers' or were they strictly used as 'race cars'? Bear in mind 'back in the day' you would drive your GT-350, or Cobra, to work and park it on the street, in the rain even, and not think twice about it. In that time frame there were just 'cool cars' and had not yet acquired the lofty position they hold now.
