Nick's statement that "these aren't drag cars" I still agree with. I "believe" as well that you can run fast 1/4 mile times with these cars, I just think that it takes a lot of time and money in traction mods and it takes a lot of abuse in the drivetrain as well. It's all about getting traction, or slipping the clutch and burning a *shit-load* of rubber. When you compare it to something like an AWD eclipse or something with RWD, you are already ahead of the game there. However, when you modify them like that 9-3 over there, well that's a different story. Putting drag slicks on my car changes the street stock status of the car. (This is just my opinion).
My Saab can not be a dedicated race car with race parts that sacrafice comfort. Modifications, not total replacements for me. After all, it still needs to be a comfortable daily driver. I can't afford tires every 6 weeks, or tranny rebuilds every year just to shave a couple of seconds off my quarter. Don't get me wrong, it sounds like a frickin' blast, I just can't afford it. My car still has that certain amount of underdog status that I enjoy. For now, I let the kids in the Subaru take me off the light(save my tires) I ALWAYS catch them in second....:o)
