I completely agree with you.
Unfortunately compromises must be made. I MUCH prefer circuit racing to drag racing, and as such, my car has hard coilovers, thick sway bars and alignment set for optimal cornering.
I'm not willing to put 90/10 suspension in the car just to get that squat and launch, because....... I guess that goes against what I want the car for.
I'm happy to extract the best times possible out of my circuit racing setup, and realise that much better launches and 60 footers can be achieved with proper drag racing suspension, but I'm just not that serious about drag racing.
For those who are serious about their straight line times, SydneyKid has provided priceless information :uh-huh: Cheers!
But 90% track, 10% drags is my motto
