Ah, here comes another bunch of straw men - the snapping sounds you hear are analogies being stretched way beyond any sane limits.

Let's start with the fact that there are easily measurable differences between cars, but of course a lot of BS too. Top Gear is/was a comedy programme very loosely based on cars. And yes, there are lot of car sceptics, pointing out that all sorts of cottage industry "go faster" accessories are totally useless (but if you want to buy a special magnet that improves fuel mileage, PM me) > There are all these things you could do that would be productive for > society.

That is the problem with us engineers, we believe in provable facts and rational thinking. Very naive and silly, I know. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
