You have to make too many compromises to get a "best of both world" setup. Suspension that works in a straight line and is adjustable doesn't like to turn, and one that turns doesn't like to transfer weight / have adjustments for track conditions. Just my $.02

That was my point.... but I don't like arguments... and there's always someone willing to argue... But the two contests are vastly different cars... and PT is vastly different from drag racing...
If you look at my first post - where I say "Never happened" -- I post up TWO ROFLMA faces.. because first of all I KNOW that I was poking fun at the whole notion... but also know there are some SMOKIN' quick PT cars... a car that runs 12's is pretty sweet... and a car capable of 10's is really getting the job done -- and REAL 9's (9.1 - 9.2 - 9.3 - 9.4 -- because anything else is 9.5's which is a different car altogether)...
When I pit crewed for McCulluch and Whipple - the difference between 7.1 and a 7.0 was a WORLD RECORD...
The video of the blue Camaro is really impressive btw!
