Message	"Straight-line acceleration is probably the first aspect of automotive performance that any intelligent driver gets bored with." LOL, I wouldn't go quite that far. We owe a lot to the dragsters. They always break something, figure out a way to beef up the part and the benefit trickles down. I've tried dragging a few times. Not my cup of tea but I was amazed how much was "going on" in that short, brief quarter mile. I gotta try autocross next.
