thats far FAR less than a new camaro, hellcat, 94-96 impala ss, fullsize 73-87
chevy trucks, or countless other things people hotrod.
the short wheelbase does make em squirrely. thats half the fun! and arent
you going for more of a 'top end' charger than a drag race special? even
MORE so you dont want a short wheelbase, high speed stability gets better
with longer wheelbase/more caster, right? i mean, you could 'crutch' it by
dialing in 6-8 degrees + caster--but the same holds true in a drag race
situation.
as for my reasons--mines a street car. i may do an occasional 0-60mph blast
in an impromptu drag race, or a roll-on from 50 to maybe 100 on the freeway.
just for a second or two, however.
theres never anytime im going to hold it flat out for a mile or more. there
isnt any room, #1. and #2 i may get a ticket burning out, or in extreme cases
i might get arrested. if you get caught doing a 'cannonball run' here, you ARE 100%
going to jail, car impounded and auctioned off or crushed, and losing your license
for the rest of your life.
not knocking your build, just saying. you asked why. thats why.
there are, as you said, far better choices to make a hotrod, dragster, or
landspeed record setter out of than a vette......
