Over used cliche^. I said drag racing "a" car is a good way to show off straight line performance. It's also a great way to measure power mods. A 700 hp Z4M is not the wrong car for straight line performance and it's also a great handling machine. To the other odd statement.....I don't like Vetts and again your analogy is short sighted and close minded. A Z4M that does 0-60 in 3 seconds flat with 130mph+ traps is hardly the wrong car for straight line performance. That isn't the point though, I was talking about the value of drag racing "ANY" car for performance measurement and certainly a gauge to value your power mods.
