It's not the kind of "race" you want to be in if you actually have some skill and brains, save it for a real race track where it will be comically easy to blow away the street racer types.

Bingo!!! Back in the day when I used to be in the novice classes in DE's with my 84 944 (the 944 was my daily driver at the time) I used to own C5's, M3, RX-7s and the like. My friend would also take his BMW E30 325 to the same DE's where I would wear him out too. But at home he would always try to race me and would almost always win, due to the 50% listed above. To this day he still argues with me who the faster driver was back then. I know the real answer though.
