There's nothing about the 1LE that makes it a good drag car. Sure you can overcome the super stiff suspension and aero to some degree but you won't find anyone with a fast drag car with super stiff suspension, it is not productive to weight transfer when launching. Its just physics. Show me a 1LE at the top of the quickest 6th Gen ZL1 drag times. Have you seen a Dodge Demon? They didn't get the world's quickest 0-60 record from making the suspension stiffer than a standard Hellcat, nope, they made it softer. Its fine if you like the 1LE for aesthetic reasons, but just don't make up a narrative that the 1LE is just as good as the standard ZL1 for drag racing, because its not.
