I'd agree with you there and I'm a 19 year old. I just am not really sure what "TRULY DRIVING" is. Being able to drop the hammer in an A4 Fbody?

That right there makes it very clear you have not truly drove cars (or a wide variety of cars).

You want to try to come launch my car on the street from a dig? (Without putting it in the ditch) And yes, I have one of those non-skill stalled A4s.

Can I launch your car from a dig as well as you? I highly doubt it. Can I do it without wrecking? Without a doubt. It's not very difficult to get a high hp car off the line without wrecking it. Getting off the line fast is a different story though.

That being said, there is a whole lot more to being able to drive well than launching a car.

I was talking more about turns... 90% of the people that drive on the road don't truly know how to drive cars. And yes, I am one of those people.

There are very few people in this world who can truly push a car beyond it's limits without crashing or killing themselves... I think it's closer to 99.9% of people that drive cannot fully unlock the potential of their cars and I will say that I'm not in that 0.1% but someday I'd like to get close.

I think if anyone is pushing it beyond it's limits they're indefinitely going to lose control. A vehicle can be pushed TO its limits by a skilled driver (depending on vehicle and driving conditions), but the idea is NOT to push a vehicle PAST its limits Lol. I'm just messin' w/ya bro.

I find if I lean into it while turning, I can get the Hawk to corner ALMOST as well as the new C6Z06. But before you jump down my throat, I only can do it if I really lean over.

Heck all I know is by the time I was 19 I was on my 2nd LT1 Formula and had a '73 Cutlass with a built '71-spec 455 Rocket sitting next to it. I had about 5 years and a couple hundred passes under my belt by that age. lol

I am not saying all teens are bad drivers. Not at all. But someone that is 18-20 doesn't have the driving experience that someone say, 30 would.
