Message when they are equally or more a function of traction and experience/skill?
I think a rolling pull on the interstate is a much more pure display of how powerful a car is.
We focused on building a powerful car, and FYI, its not just powerful on the dyno. I have felt more power from that car than anyone here has ever felt from a Z. It has been used many times to its fullest extent out on open stretches of highway. Maybe that's not your thing and thats fine, but just because we haven't devoted any extensive effort into learning to drag the car doesn't mean that it doesn't have extreme amounts of useful power to me.
Usually, when we race around these parts, we race to see who's car is actually the most powerful, not who has the stickiest tires or who is the best driver. Remote empty sections of I-20 see most of the action.

However, we do intend to focus some time into setting up the car to run the quarter in the near future, as we have noticed the overwhelming importance it seems to posses to the masses.
