I just had to post a response to this remark since you've basically quoted my user-title-avatar-text-dealie.

I almost feel guilty running my 15 second car at the drag strip, like I'm taking up time and space that could be used to run two 7 second cars instead. The experience really isn't any more or less boring than running my old 11 second car, actually. I'm convinced drag racing all cars is pretty much equally boring until you hit single digits.
