Mine is when Nurburgring lap times are brought up. 99% of the time it’s someone in a base model luxury car that saw some super heavily modified version of their car, conveniently forgets that this is no where close to a stock production car, and swears that this means that their car is God’s gift to drivers cars. Nurburgring lap times are like the go to reference for people that have never actually tracked their cars. It’s a very unrealistic track for 99% of cars. Most tracks are not nearly as long or as power dependant, imo it’s actually a terrible metric for most enthusiast cars

It’s a great track for evaluating super cars, where high speed handling and aero play a huge factor. But it’s also a track where a gr86 and miata get demolished by a BMW X5 lol
