True Bracket Car vs True Street Car....

But more or less, I see the dedicated bracket racers on this site look at a street car ET (anyone's car), and say "you could drop XX if you get your 60 ft down". Seems bracket racers have more of that for an answer. For instance, my 318 Duster did high 14's at just about 95 mph and instantly the 2.2 60 ft was the topic. I'm asking is it hard for them to "think" with 2.76 gears, stock converter, and a 318 in a full weight car that it's probably not going to push better without the help of a converter and gears - which is moving towards "bracket racing" set up. LOL... Maybe I'm just being confusing and not making sense.. :D :D Could be... I don't know

No, I think you got it right. 318WR’s comment I find exacting. When you own a true 100% street car, (or 99.99%) then you want to add some power & not change the rear gears or get an expensive converter, the 60ft. time are always slow. Which isn’t a big deal to the guy driving it everyday or 3 days a week. That person just wants some power to make a 14, 13 or 12 second time slip and enjoy it as is.
