News flash: drag racing is not the end all be all element of the automotive hobby. Nor is the dragstrip's less-than-legal street cousin.


It gets a bit tiresome when people who apparently place a car's entire worth on its quarter mile stats try to convince everybody else that that's the only thing that matters. It's not.

FWIW and for the foreseeable future, you couldn't pry me out of either of my 14-ish second MT cars (or the 15-ish second "spare") for a car with an automatic or other automated transmission. Not even with a guaranteed promise of easy 11's.
