Man, there are way, way too many people focusing on the 1/4mi times of this car.. GM isn't building this car to run the 1320... It's nice to go fast and all, but it's even nicer to go faster around curves.
So what if it did only run 12.0? There are drag cars running 9s and faster that could sail right off a curved track. Does that make them junk? No. It just means that's not the event they were set up to run.
I don't see people talking about how bad of a drift car the ZL1, GT500, etc are.. Why? I'm sure there are much cheaper cars out there that make much better drift competitors, but no one is complaining about how these cars don't stack up.
Can we stop the  and the  and do a little more  ? |
I agree. But most people want Red light to Red light. THAT's where 90% of the actual show off comes from. Right or wrong, wrong or right, that's where the obsession with the 0-60mph and drag times come from. It's why companies use it in their advertizing.
Now on an enthusiast site those numbers should be more even but it seems they are not.
