That's true, it depends on which purpose you built your car for and what target you have in mind. For me, I was looking for a-kinda-sleeper/sleek look with reliable performance for street driving, auto-x, circuit racing and probably some drift action

and guys, I need help with the type of FI used on each car(i.e. Greedy TT)

1/4 time is not the sole measure of a car's worthiness, nor is a dyno number. as Tenghai mentioned, each person has different goals for their car, and as long as those goals are met, then who are we to judge.

And as everyone knows, driver is about 80% of whether or not a car is fast on a 1/4 mile track, an autocross, or a circuit course.
Agree drive is key, but dyno numbers are all different and I think it gives the younger guys the wrong impression.

My mom could drive your auto drag car down the track, it takes no skill, just a set-up to launch and your good. Id rather lose being a faster driver, than by having a faster car Jay-Z look at the top 2 or 3 tranny's on that list not for me...

No, there is a little more to it than that, you still neet to shift, just no clutch thats all.
So if my car was a stock automatic Z, that would be ok if it were fast?? But since it has a reliable tranny in it, built for racing, that makes it not fast?

Read my post again and tell me where I said your car isnt considered fast...I simply stated my opinion on the subject like Ive done 100X-racing tranny's in a street car dont impress me (and many others), a stock tranny being "driven" to good times does. But I of all people understand your decision...
