I don't know you but maybe you don't see the point because your experience in drag racing is limited? Get out there often and you'll start to see my point :-) Our cars are shit slow at the drag strip.

There are VERY FEW street cars that can run "10s or lower passes" street legally. I share your love of AMS R35 GTRs!
because, it's (relatively) easy to make a 'vehicle' go down the 1/4 mile fairly quick, and ONLY do that... but it's much more of a challenge to make a CAR go down the 1/4 mile just as quickly.. and.. you know.. be able to turn, maybe even carry more than one person :O

30" tall, fair enough.

yeah under 10s is mental, but there's plenty of 10s and 11s cars i mean, more accurately (though yes, getting into the 10's is a HUGE achievement still),

i mean... damn, go check out performanceforums.. their challenge was.. um... 13's for $1300
some of them got into 11's i think? they pretty much all used nos, and dodgy stuff like ebay chinese turbos with sealed wastegates.. but still haha
