Buy a ZL1 and call it a day if going the lot car route, far better build for racing.

My only point with 1/4 mile runs is anyone with a foot can mash a peddle and drive in a straight line for 12 secs, little to no skill. There is real genius involved in getting it to that point via tuning and the right combo of internals however. Being an experienced racer as you mentioned, you can see the skills involved in when to accelerate, commanding oversteer/understeer, cornering, lateral velocity..etc. Nothing is a bigger thrill.

Its like NASCAR changing the format to 1/4 mile runs with a checkered flag waiting 10 secs later - riveting. These forums are littered with people who measure their camaros credibility based on this 1 metric alone, so its somewhat the norm. Its how vendors hammer home performance part sales.

When a soccer mom in a Ludicrous mode Tesla smokes everyone for a 1/4 mile, guess we'll crown her queen of racing. Throw in a few curves to maneuver and watch the smile fade from her face.
WTH? The OP was just weighing his supercharger.. how did track preference, auto/manual get into this???

OP has been drag racing and building cars for 48 years and you just jumped in here out of topic to give him a lecture..


You are def, a disturbedSS my friend lol
