I had to do that to my car too. Bent the mounts.
But mine is a ladder bar car, and friends alerted me to a problem they could see, but I couldn't feel. And I never got out of shape because of it.
But I was almost a full second slower, and down about 400 horsepower to yours.( I'm old, low tens is fine with me!)
And just as an aside, I love oddball drag cars. I would love to know what that was in the other lane! (Alpine/tiger?)
