well right now i've got my 240 hatch sitting on stands with the rb20 about to go in. i went and watched some of the guys drift the other night and i dont think thats what i want to do with my car. dont get me wrong drifting looks like fun but i grew up around my dad drag racing and all of his friends drag racing and i'm thinking about going that direction. i've looked around and can't find any 240's that are just built for draging. i'm just looking to hear what some of you think about this.

why limit yourself to just going straight? it gets boring after you do some real performance driving (autocross, HPDE circuit stuff)

you dont have to drift, but i guarntee if you autocross drag racing will never be the same.

I love drag racing myself man, there are two kinds of people usually, the guys who prefer the road courses and the guys who likke to go as fast as they can down the 1320. Problem is, if you build a really good drag car, your handling usually falls pretty short for a road course.

I love the pre stage feeling, waiting inline, then the burnout, then the staging...wait for it..wait for it..yellow yellow GO!!!! If you beat the other guy, its almost an instant 3" pen15 extension.
