Why are people scared of the drag strip?

Yeah, I was going to say, a 10 second car is probably faster than > 99% of the cars on the street (from a statistical perspective).

I have respect for anyone (Ford, Chevy, Honda, whatever) that takes the time to make their car fast...New cars like the Demon and Hell Cat are nice and all, and I would love one....but it only took deep pockets to get cars like this...its just not the same. Not bashing people that have them, its just not the same as building a fast car.

Late to the party but absolutely correct. It's always interesting to see a car morphed into a built racecar throughout it's History. There's a couple Mopars around here that started out street cars and the owners have been improving them and making them faster every year.
