How's that for a click bait title? I'm totally trying to get this down so any pointers are great. He did write about what I felt was TCL. Also if he's reads criticism he'll probably read this because he'll search his name. So Jack, I have something to tell you you, something you can learn as you like to say... The proper term for what you are talking about is called "confirmation bias". Just so you know for some of your scathing upcoming articles that keep us on the edge of our seats or beds or toilets, depending on where you read this site at. BTW the new Mustang is ugly as hell.

So I started calculating what the "potential" quarter-mile might be. I didn't like some of the times gotten by various magazines, so I searched until I found a time and a trap speed that I liked, then I started calculating further, and then...
My God, I've become That Forum Guy.
In the few years since I started writing for Road & Track, I've made it a point to read as much criticism and commentary on my articles as possible. It's my belief that you can learn a lot from your critics, even if they say things that seem deliberately hurtful or just plain stupid.
