It has been tested by every popular magazine out there. Any driver who is good doesn't want it. It does not make you faster. It'll make you more consistent, hide your flaws. As stated by everyone, it doesn't let a good driver do what he needs to do with the car. I know what you're saying, but I know people who have tried it too. And they also didn't like it. Tire stuff is another animal, and what Lucas and Eldora are trying is a huge step forward.
Barry Bonds was someone who depended solely on his body for the job. Who needed to heal and recuperate faster to stay relevant. So he turned to the PED's. I don't think there is a good comparison between different athletes, you're using different things to stay on top.
It is illegal pretty much across the board. They did a test with 3 drivers in a DLM magazine back when this was the hot issue with Dale McDowell and 2 other less known/experienced drivers. Dales times barely changed, but the two others did get better and the worst one was markedly more consistent. Believe whatever you like, its your money to waste if you want to, I believe in a free market. I shared my experience with it and it wasn't the end all be all it was touted to be. Bottom line, if the car isn't at its best, the TC won't get you there.
