When I said that these cars could run in the 8's fairly easily, most everybody looked at me with the stink eye. How much are they opening the throttle to achieve 9.30's? 65%?

Totally invalid argument for getting rid of them. What if a lower class car on a single crashed all by himself at 85 miles an hour. Same lower safety equipment. How would ridding the class of fast cars help them?
