Intersting reading for sure, thanks for the post links. While the times are extremely impressive if they come to be I still don't think that is what the general public wants. Give me a good handling car and make it a stop light terror. I watched a motortrend video over the weekend where they paired stock CTS-V and a GT500 in the 1/4, the CTS-V won. IMO the bragging rights will go to the car that is running the best 1/4 purely stock. Ford and Chevy should be putting more $$$ into getting these cars to launch without hop and spin use the hp they already have instead of worrying about lap times that 1 out of every 100 owners may actually use.
