You know, that's a good point. My last motor was a 412" small block with all the goodies..ran mid 11's with a crappy 60-ft (high 1.8's). Now I have a bone-stock LS1 motor...and I like the drivability much better. The 412" motor was fun in some ways, but it was WAY to easy to lose control of the car. Now, I can put my foot in it pretty hard, still go fast, and maintain some control. Less tire smoke, more foward motion.
I'll admit it's not as fun for car shows when people ask "What'll do in the 1/4?", but who cares...it's all about driving the thing.
