These guys would be much better served on the dragstrip, and have a much better time, with a Mustang, a Camaro, a Nova with a big block, even an AMG Mercedes. It's like entering a Honda S2000 in a tractor pull contest, or entering an Escalade in an autocross. It just doesn't make any sense.

I'm cranky.
Fully agreed. Wrong car for straight line.

Another lifetime ago I used to drag my Z28 with a swapped LT-1 engine I built. It was fun but the big blocks always crushed me...
