I want to be faster always, but not sacrificing the whenever drive-ability of the car to do so. Not hating on race cars. Love watching them go fast and break records, Just not my thing and to each there own.
I think its amazing we have the big 3 making cars that are capable of super car levels. Hope the fun never ends!

I get what you are saying and I agree but AJ's car is for sure "daily driveable".

Suppose what I'm getting at is it can be done on a budget and be fast. Will it be as good or look as nice as the person who spent 75K to do so, highly doubtful. Can the budget build guys keep up with the latest and greatest absolutely. Will it be as pretty and last as long doubtful. Just check with the Road Kill guys who seem to enjoy their junk builds. Not really a fan but credit where credit is due. Again to each there own.

Yes and the other aspect of it is it actually track legal to run 8's. That alone can be a tremendous expense.
