ahhhhh….. I feel the same. If I have a 360 with upgraded heads, cam, headers, converter in a A-body, I don't want NOS to run a high 11. It just don't sound right.
Aren't bottles for babies?????? (oops, somebody will thrash me over that :D )
I wont trash you but where I am coming from is if we want to keep the drag race hobby alive with the younger generation it kinda defeats the purpose when all of us go around and make statements like this.
Think about some kid wanting to run as fast as allowed with no roll bar having to build a car from the ground up to run 11s n/a,not likely he has a minimum of 20k laying around to blow and that's if he gets some serious deals and does most of the work.
On the other hand he gets a solid junkyard 5.2/5.9 magnum,mid 70s a body,and an exploder 8.8 rear with 3.73s and a nitrous kit and hes in the game at a price he can afford. He still built his stuff and learned what works he just did it differently. Old school is cool but times have changed and the 340/8 3/4 cars I could pick up back in the day for a grand or two would cost me 10-15k today.
