Times have SO much to do with the driver. It's the difference between 15 seconds and 17. Get a car you can launch. It's a hard equilibrium to find. Eclipses will never be as good as an F-body down the track. If you try to say that a clipped eclipse is.... it's not an eclipse anymore. If you want to drag race, consider the fact that a front wheel drive has the disadvantage automatically due to physics. Don't let this stop you, though. I've seen a few fwd cars running 10s. I like my car because it will actually go around a corner.
Put the same money into a 2gnt and a 4th gen F-body, and you'll be almost 6 seconds faster in the F-body.
It's down to what you like and how much fun you have.
Your time slip means NOTHING to the guy next to you. It means everything to you. Of course, people on here or in similar circles will do some back patting, but it's still not about them. Don't race for someone else. Race for yourself. Take pride in shaving .2 off of your 60 foot time. It's much better than saying "Hey, I got my ass kicked by that guy."
I'm broke, it's broken. I'm broke because it's broken. It's broken because I'm broke.
