Glossed right over all the substance and went right to that. So predictable.
So how come the fastest, money is no object, "only the best" Barracuda ever built can't even pass NHRA tech for a lowly 1/8th mile, let alone an actual 1/4 mile? I mean, that's basic stuff right there.
Wait, don't tell me. You don't have a proper cage, because it would cramp your style. So you've got what should be a sub 9 second 1/4 mile car, without a proper cage, and you think you're in a position to challenge people to races? Why would anyone waste their time showing up at a track only to watch you DQ'd in tech?
