The reality is that both drag racers and track racers are a vast minority compared to the "typical" user. Both camps of enthusiasts are inconsequential to total sales.

If track performance is unimportant, then why build a Boss 302 (LS, R and S)?

If handling well on tracks and real world driving weren't important, then how does Ferrari/Mercedes/Lambo/Porsche/Corvette/you-name-your-favorite-here command the high prices and desireability they have. It's not solely exclusivity.....those cars are bad ass on the track......and on the street. Several suck at the strip.

F1 is the most watched automotive sport in the world. NHRA.......hardly gets on TV.
