A more important number to me would be a 40-100 mph time. When will magazines get away from drag strip statistics?

They are the standards set down years ago as the determinents, our cars perform better from 40-100 though. My old 83 Z-28 would catch any evo on the highway and push on by because of the evos poor areodynamics.
