Take it on a road course and see what you think. I've run down plenty of higher HP cars on track with mine. Sure, they'd beat me in the 1/4 mile but why the hell would you ONLY drag race a car like this? These things love the corners and do an awesome job under braking. Plus, 20 minute sessions are a hell of a lot more fun than a few seconds at a time in a straight line. Yawn.
