Most importantly I was inferring that tearing down the s2k as a drag racer is not a legitimate argument considering that drag racing is not what it is designed for.
driving fast in a straightline isn't racing. Drag racing is about fast cars, if a driver can't shift optimally its a driver incomptency. To road race you have to be able to shift on the money every time among other things. Its a lot more difficult to learn to push the car to the limits of adheision than it is to press a clutch and upshift.

Rep Power: 376 people who are saying drag racing requires no skill are being fairly arrogant. it requires a DIFFERENT kind of skill to drive a road course, or auto-x, and yes, probably requires more skill as well.
but to say that drag racing requires little skill is foolish and ignorant at best.

My original comment i thought would be taken as it pertained to the s2k considering the thread topic.
