Just leave the Soul Glo at home, I don't want you messing up my seats (You brought it up, I had to).

The problem with an 'all around' car is its not really good at any one thing. Its mediocre at them all. Thats why Vince's twin turbo Vette with a 408 can't hook up for dogshit, why most of these Supras can't run under 12s, and why most of the 'drag racers' here run shit times compared to what they could be running.

Building a car for drag means its unstreetable. Period. Suspension, gearing, transmission, powerband, they're all conducive to a great track performance and shit street performance. Thats the nature of a drag car. I could go into details about all the things you need to worry about when building a real drag car, but I'd be here for hours explaining it.
