Plus the Mags might be testing new and tight cars or completely ragged out test mules. The mag cars vary widely and you really don't get an accurate result. The motorcycle journos are the worst. Most of them aren't really that experienced at racing but they can write and punctuate properly so they get the job. The Challenger is the baddest 4000lbs HEMI powered car on the road. And guys, 1/4 mile sprints just kill a drive line. Each pass probably causes hundreds of tiny hair-line fractures in everything from shafts to crank journals. This happens over the life of any car anyways but drag racing just accelerates the crap out of the process. Sure, I'll plant my foot on an occasional pulse quickener but mostly I cruise it around counting the thumbs-ups. I guess I should be thankful to you guys. With you out there proving what these cars can do, I can just repeat your results to any Mustang/Camaro head and settle it without stressing my car. Cool. I take it all back.
