For about $5K you can probably build a car that does 10 seconds in the quarter mile from a junkyard. It would suck in every other way though

Launching the car matters for two things: drag racing, and I guess street racing . It's really not worth pursuing in this car, it's not a drag car, and street racing from a stoplight is stupid. All you're doing is stressing your drivetrain for no good reason.
