But who cares? Stock cars are for dirt track racing.
"Stock" is just a good place to start.

plus some people would rather drive their car everyday so they cant set the car up to run from a dig (big stalled auto, mods that negatively effect handling ect) and they dont like seeing their cars up on jackstands every 2 weeks because of broken drivetrain parts.
i used to own the WORST roll racing car ever made (a TPI powered 3rd gen with a stalled auto) and i still prefered racing from a roll.

Do you like seeing how FAST you are? Run the flying mile or standing mile. Traction is a difficult thing to get enough of. The point of racing is proving you can be competitive. Removing the start is in my opinion "lowering the bar".
A MAJOR part of finding out who is quicker and faster is racing from a stop to the end of a 1/4mile. That's what drag racing is based on.
I drove my car everyday with no serious compromise other than removing the front swaybar and using gummy tires in back. It could be put into handling mode in a short time. I had a 3500 converter and it was quite drivable. I drove it during the winter months in N.IL with that converter.Have you driven a car that had an aftermarket converter?
When running less than spectacular times (11's or slower) there is no reason for anyone to constantly break parts. It's just as easy to bust parts when roadracing.

Hey im only the 12 second club... So you want to bring some 11 second cars here I could run? Come on now that could be from two years ago people are always changing their setups... I was in the 12 sec club on my old motor and it was on a crappy street tire so I did a 12.4 @ 122mph.
I have a friend that just completed his ls1 rx7-fd swap and it weighs 2800lbs(touring model) is stock right now and beats 02 zo6s without a problem. He now has bought heads/cam and other heads/cam rx7 ls1 cars are running mid to high 10s. I am a domestic car guy but that combo is one of the best track cars(not drag strip) you could make hands down

I do believe ( dont quote me on it) , that the worlds fastest street supra was running a GM 2spd Powerglide trans

Lets just say austin still doesn't know why the stock looking cobra was rolling up everything in sight.

And **** your LT1 bashing, the lt1 is a great motor, and at one time the ltx series motors were, just like the lsx series now, GM's latest and greatest, in 5 years when the lsx series is no longer billy bad ***, and has been set aside for something better, will you come down on the ls1 guys with the same condencending remarks as you do to the lt1 owners now?
Go back to the nismo forums buddy [/thread]

Most supra pwners are switching over to GMTH400s some have power glides, alot of people are ditching 6speeds and going with a GM trans, thats really what makes the cars fast.
Ill put money up on the street a TH400/GM tranny supra will wack any 6speed supra, there is just way to much driver error to get a 6speed to hook and put down a fast time.
Yes there is antilag, and all that other **** but a TH400 makes everything so much easyer and a supra no longer is a Dyno qeen, they actally put down fast times.
