That's awesome power to behold--for 4.87 seconds. But it's really about as close to real driving as playing Gran Tourismo on Playstation. Drag racing is exceedingly lame. Sorry, but it is. It's an amusement park ride, it's not driving. It's the grown-up equavalent to those toy cars you pull the plastic rip-cord through and watch race across your kitchen. "Wow, look at it go!!" Drag racing is everything that is wrong with the American motor sports mentality. "Let's make this go really fast--in a straight line--and damn eveything else." It's the reason Ford is still putting live axles on their "sports" cars. No-one on this group, and I dare someone to tell me I'm wrong, would rather go fast in a dragster car like that over taking a GT3 on an unbridled drive through a curvy country road. Now, over at the Mustang forum, yeah, give em a drag strip and a can of Skull and they'll be happy all day long--all the better to keep their ****ty 5.0's off my roads. Cause my life is too short to not get to take a corner at speed...
