Today's muscle cars don't have nearly enough traction to use all their power at launch, but then neither did our cars 50 years ago. Getting the car off the line was a HUGE part of the race. Of course, that took practice and skill.

Like so many other things today, no knowledge, no skill, no experience necessary. Just a payment book.

Roll racing is for Pu$$ies. hammer


I suggest you watch some serious cars go at it and rethink your position.

There are plenty of 1500+ hp cars with major traction issues at 60+ mph hits. It's not unheard of to have 2000+ hp E85 street cars on 26" tall radials going at it from 60-180 mph. You need to be on your toes when you're painting the street at 100+ mph.



We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
