Yeah, it's really not great. To be fair, though, in the dialup days, many of us learned to cope with that ping while still playing Quake 2 or whatever. You can adapt, it just takes a while, and you learn to lead your target. You can make similar adaptations to vehicle control (like playing a racing game on a really laggy old-school plasma TV), but it's not pleasant.

I really wouldn't want highway drivers in that monster truck to have any barriers to their reactions, especially with its nontraditional crumple zone :(

There are differences between Quake and driving. One would be respawning.
Lol yes, slightly different situations.
