Why truck a car all the way to the track.. PAY MONEY.. wait in line.. and then just 1/2 ass it...

Also who's to say your friend has an 8 second car? has he ever run it? IF NOT then maybe he DOES beat the hell out of it and it runs 9's, he's just Ricer Powering the 8's cause hes "launching easy"

Its POINTLESS to baby a car on the dragstrip, if you want high end then go to an airport with a 10000 ft runway and try it there.... Its not like there is 0 stress on the driveline while going fast in higher gears... your highest gears put HUGE stress on the transmission, ask mattback aboutwith his old Z. he kept blowing trannies doing bridge runs because of his redicilous torque.
