What has the comparison of human reaction time and servo reaction time to do with each other? It's not like your thought and the servo turning start at the same point in time and the servos work doesn't "activate" until your thought got to your hands. Yeah, I know it makes no sense, but that's basically what you just implemented.

What a servo with quicker reaktion time gives you is indeed a faster response of your car.
Doesn't matter if the reaction time of the driver is a nano second or a minute.
It's reaction time + all the delays between transmitter and receiver + servo reaction time.
It's completely irrelevant if the driver is a braindead zombie or a fighter pilot. If servo A is 7ms faster than servo B, servo A will have it's job done 7ms earlier than servo B would have. Off course provided both have the required amount of torque.
To get back to your "question", that is exactly what you gain.

If the aforementioned braindead zombie needs that extra bit of faster response is a whole other story.
And on that I'm somewhat with you. I don't need a 0.06ms servo, nor do I want one.
But as rootar does, I can't stand a car with too slow servos either.
Best example: Slash 4x4 stock servo. Yes it turns the wheels, eventually, but that's about it.
I agree with _paralyzed_, at a certain point the servo speed doesnt matter. Tires are at least 80% of your setup. Also, I would have to guess that most racers(me included) use negative expo in the steering anyway.

who the hell is this _paralyzed_ guy? And where does he get off spouting such rubbish?

I just saw a servo with crazy specs and wanted to share it. I thought it was normal servo size but I was wrong on that. I should have never turned on the computer this morning!

Their linear servos look cool.
