How many years, and how much time and money went into making that Camaro that fast? Six or seven prominent engine builders, over a couple of decades, supported by dozens of racers, who also spent years and money testing headers, gears, torque converters, clutches, transmissions, gear ratios, etc.
Never mind the 396 Camaro, the Toyota isn't in those classes, yet. So what about the guy with years and thousands in his Nova, Camaro, Mustang, Duster, Demon, etc., in the class it does run? They don't have the aftermarket parts you seem to use as an excuse. And few of those guys have $100K disposable laying around.
