Drag racing is not as easy as internet (used to be "bench") racers think it is. I've done a little drag racing. I've beat cars faster than mine, and I've been beaten by cars slower than mine. Talent does matter more than anything else in cars that are closely matched.
I see cars weekly kiss the guard rails on stock tires. I hate to see that. The drivers of these cars think all one has to do is mash the gas and go but it's not that simple. Stock tires will get you in trouble if you aren't careful. I've done this thing for a while and still respect the dangers involved. Last thing I want to do is have to buy sheet metal for my car. I want the car to stick and go straight, as fast as it can. And my junk is a dinosaur by comparison to the ZL1. Now tht the ZL1 and the HC can pair up, it would be wise to be on your game if you choose to take on the HC. Nothing I'd like to see more than a ZL1 hand the HC it's backside. When that does happen we'll some people dumping their Hellcats.
