[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2783716, member: 15253"] As said above, the cars you see on the show are street driven, at least some of the time. Drag cars, on the other hand, are built to perform on a dragstrip, which in turn, is designed to help high horsepower cars get the traction necessary to make a quick pass. Purpose built drag cars rarely do well on unprepared streets because, again, they are built to perform on a track that was purpose built to accommodate them. Getting high performance vehicles to "hook up" (ie, get traction) on the street is an art and a science in itself. Too much horsepower and the tires simply spin and go up in smoke; too little horsepower and you get outrun. Those guys know that there are quicker and faster cars (both "street" cars and drag cars) around the country, any one of which would give them a thrashing on a well-prepared dragstrip. The challenge they make is that their cars are among the fastest around on ordinary city streets. [/QUOTE]
