    I know drag racing takes skills, i never said it doesn't take any. I just think it takes the least amount of skill from any other car event racing. And i don't think you want an extra 200 pounds in your car.

    I wasn't going at you with a "no skills" come back, more at the more money = faster comment. It's simply not true.

    Well if both cars are identical to each other(stock GTO vs stock GTO), than they should run in close range. But the driver with more skill will run faster. Ofcourse money is not a factor if both cars are identical.

    Now let's say a stock GTO runs against modded GTO. This means, one of the cars has more money put into it. Shit, IMO the modded GTO better be faster, or equal to the other GTO with better driver.

    On the other hand here, lets say you have one guy with a brand new JRSC B16 EM1 and a guy with a pieced together turbo kit on his D series EF...


    Again, arguement prove wrong.

    Many times I have gotten in the driver's seat of someone's car, the car they drive everyday, and gone from .3 to a full second faster than they did. The car setup doesnt get any more identical than that.

    Well yeah. That's where the skill came in, you. Again, I know drag racing takes skill. But I just think in my own opinion: If you was to put me in your car, and showed me everything there is to know, I would learn it pretty quickly and I would run about the same times as you. On other hand, i would probably total about 10 cars before learning how to drift, or rally racing.

    I definately can see where you are coming from. Road racing, you have skill as well as driver fatigue from driving many laps, and drifting, well, the smoke inhalation would be terrible.
