Let me put it this way: a formula one race car is much faster than a
standard car. But if you want to go from Stockholm to Malmö, you may
still make that trip faster with a standard car if you travel along.
The F1 car needs much more support and maintenance.

Greg has a very strong experience in the perf-tuning field, but his
advice is not for every one.
