The new cars a short term cash cow for nhra and maybe a lot of fun for the folks who can afford them. What happens after you folks are finished playing? What is left?
Bruce, I don't know that they arrived with a heavy gift factor. Are the engines efficient? yes. Do they have a lot of technology in them, yes. One thing I do know, It wasn't Ford that was trying to get over on people. The guy that owns the car that I drive has a lot of friends in higher ups at Ford and they refused to give out any info with the computers and management systems. It wasn't until people were able to modify the factory computer ( which was no easy feat) as well as others designing aftermarket systems that things took off. Ford was pretty upset at a lot of people that started running fast, because that was not their intent.
Like I said earlier, I grew up in the muscle car era and love the old muscle cars. People like fast cars, and there are a lot of older combo's that are fast. There is a lot of innovated people in stock and what they can do with some combo's is very impressive. But does that mean I would ever have the desire to drive a world record holding V6 impala? No, that doesn't interest me.
