Ok, Speed toe is so right!!

integra_killer, you may be right for only the 1/4 mile, but [B]IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, does the 1/4 mile matter as much when you are coming out of a hairpin corner or even just a regular turn. I would be more worried about my acceleration out of the turn.

THE ONLY RACES THAT PROBABLY WILL HAVE 1/4 MILE TIMES TO MATTER IS THE 1/4 DRAG RACING. AND EVEN THAT NEEDS THE 0-60 BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU CAN GET TO 60MPH FASTER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON HOW GOOD OF A DRIVER YOU ARE.

And for RWD, AWD, and FWD, if a RWD has a better off the line traction then your FWD, then you got to use your skills as a driver to accomodate for the traction problem. KNOW when to shift, KNOW why its a traction problem, USE YOUR SKILLS AS A DRIVER to out drive the RWD. However, if you know what car you are going to race and you know the 0-60 times, then you can figure out if you can win or not in a street race which technically doesn't have to be 1/4 mile. It can be roll on race on the highway or a shorter distance light to light, or on a mountain pass, etc.

BUT REALLY think about it, if traction is a concern for you with 0-60 times, remember that you can get a LSD. But my concern would be more on what the guy next to me has in his engine bay, and not if his traction is good. Because if he is really going to race like for say money, he's got to know how to control his traction or he's got a damn good tranny.

Skills has to do WITH everything, drifthing needs skills, shifting needs skills, knowing not to race a faster car is smart and skillful. Unless its just for fun...
