Each to their own :)
There are of course multiple ways at looking at this. In the past I used to enjoy being annihilated from the lights just so I could see a fast car perform.
Would I still enjoy being beaten.......yep. I'd love to see exactly how fast a P1 or similar is off the line.
So I'm guessing hat those in lower powered cars, like me, enjoy seeing faster cars take off and disappear (until said speed limit is reached)
