No. It's just not my cup of tea ,but way bust someones balls for doing what they love and succeeding at it. I think it's pretty funny that the OP put the Charger on the trailer so to speak.

In saying all of that though, I do believe that small displacement motors will see more respect when we start seeing them in topfuel dragsters and topfuel funny cars and running the times that they currently do.
Well put. To each his own.

BTW, we are starting to see more and more 4 banger dragsters. Some of those ecotec's are damned impressive.
