com·pete
to strive to outdo another for acknowledgment, a prize, supremacy, profit, etc.; engage in a contest; vie: to compete in a race; to compete in business.
Now you're telling me to compare two cars does not mean they end up competing?
V8 Supercars comparing Holden against Ford (to compete in a race)
Magazines compare cars all the time, why would they bother with laptimes, 0-100km/h, braking distances etc etc.(engage in a contest)
Aren't these numbers compared across different cars to show who reigns ontop? (to strive to outdo another)
And please, I don't compare things based on a technicality. I see Michael Jordan and Shaq as athletes, likewise I see a CTR and Golf GTi as Hot Hatches, not a CTR is a CTR and a Golf GTi is a Golf GTi.
Here i'll make another example.
There's two athlete runners. Runner A and Runner B
I want to compare Runner A and Runner B against each other to see who is better.
And in order to compare Runner A and Runner B, they'll need to compete in a race of a 100m dash to the finish, how else am I going to know who is better if they don't compete?
If you still don't think Comparing and Competing goes hand in hand most of the time, especially with cars, then I have nothing more to say.
