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.

i agree that racing period is hard on parts and gets even harder the faster you go and the more power you make.
yes i have driven a car with an aftermarket stall (it was around a 2400 if i remember right) but that was in a TPI car that made more torque off idle than a lot of full bolt on LS1 cars make. and i even drove it in the snow once with drag radials on it in that condition.

**** you and your import loving friends, Why would you come on a forum such as ls1tech, and brag up imports, who gives a **** if they are more expensive than a 10 year old f-body, you must not know TOO much about them as you said "probably has more value"
And lets not talk about "potential", if you would get your head out of your *** you could look around and see that there are a **** load of fast lt1 cars (mine definitely isn't one of them, but if I wanted it to be, it would). 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

the friend with the rx-7 "with a rotor in it"...ALL RX cars have rotary engines, duh. That "shitty" i6 engine (rb26dett) makes your lt1 look like an abortion, a big underachieving engine that stayed above the curve until several turbo six-powered cars made it look obsolete; and i'm talking about the vettes. no "braggin up", cletus. love the optispark.
there's a **** load of fast lt1 cars, as well as a **** load of modified fast cars from every ******* company except a few(and that's changing).
as far as what belongs in jap land..isn't the designer of the new sucessful and actually powerful mustang a vietnamese man? OOPS. powerdrill that into your brain please.
you're the type of person who lives with his ears and eyes covered afraid of reality. like an inbred agent smith attached to the censored and shackled patter of the past; and frightened of things you can't understand.
that whole import vs domestics bubble blew up a couple of years ago, you seem like the fanboy/cheerleader in a empty stadium. any TRUE CAR PERSON has their preference but is not blindfolded.
