I know but, whoever said I (we) cared for straight-only fast cars? I thought this forum was based on guys who "Drive" fast, not have cars that simply Go fast



"Straights are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers" [/quote]

1/4 miles require good drivers as well. that statement is over-exaggerated about turns are for fast drivers and ****.

I beg to differ.



The best drag cars are automatics.



Sure it takes a lot to build it (and a lot of knowhow).



But once it comes down to it...its ummm....press down the accelerator and hold that wheel steady....





Not saying it doesn't take ANYTHING to do it, But I do think the generalization holds true, I think WRC drivers could do Daytona anyday! [/quote]

Take your car to the drag strip and see what happens.



Just saying "well its auto, just press the gas" is a misinformed statement.



You can have a 11 second car with a good driver, but a nOOb will only be able to pull high 13's in it.



Its easy to sit back and say it's easy, but it takes alot of pratice to get good.

Funny thing is, the guy did the swap on a bet that he couldn't do it, not to **** off the VW community or anything!
