here's the deal with all that HP....you have to put it to the ground....you can have more than the car can handle, meaning it won't hook up right away, and they have to play catch up in the quarter mile...which they can, but the race is very, very, close...so don't look down your nose at an srt6 vs V-8 yet or even a v-10 for that matter...standing starts aren't all that easy....
Doc, you're more than right. I may have misinterpreted, I was under the impression he meant track like a proper road course. I know absolutely nothing about drag racing.
