Cool. Well, if you want to race it at an NHRA track, you'll have to. Otherwise they'll kick you out after the first run :(

What kind of monster tires are you planning on running? It's always fun racing a car that's a lot faster than me from a stop up to about 60. The AWD hooks up almost immediately and I can usually "win" then slow down before they blow my doors off ;-)
