I was referring to the more radical cars in P/M. I do agree with your
point with regards to a CM car. They are not cheap, but if maintained and
driven right, they are almost bulletproof. My point was cars such as CP,
BP, EM where there is a power to weight issue that a drag race start can
become a concern. For example, BP corvettes, rx7's that rely on halfshafts
and so forth.
