//You have a car that breaks into 10's? Not many of those around....

A had a chevelle SS that I got 12's out of with the normally aspirated 396 in it, and later had a built 350 in it with nitrous and still only got mid 11's....and this was with gears that wouldn't make it too terribly driveable on the street....

Random Thought: Today's crop of motorcycles are geared for high end speed, not quarter mile, and they still outperform cars that are geared for quarter mile. Motorcycles are truly the best bang for the buck there is. They outaccellerate, outcorner, and stop faster than anything on 4 wheels. And for 1/6 the cost or less.
