For the drag strip or racing in general (Hammer's car not withstanding)there are many other FI choices with more optimized boost characteristics for those type of pursuits. When I said the boost delivery of the STS was perfect for the street I meant just that. The street, fun, driving, enjoying, etc not racing. BUT, if this was the middle of Nowhere's Utah and not Overcrowded LI with the penalties for street racing being losing your license, impounding your car, AND, if you screw up real bad felony vehicular homicide, I think we'd have a blast!!!! Oh well........
