There is a long way to go with high perf E. Some other generation might like watching E vehicles race. Currently no one is much interested in something that sounds like a blender going around.

They call that engine a "small block " Chevy, but, trust me... that is a high tech hybrid of an engine. It's very cool, but it's barely a chev small block 😂

This is how they should've kept the reincarnation of Nostalgia funny cars. Same dimensions. Giant smokey burnouts etc. Now look at the current God damn nostalgia FC's. Bunch of bastardized cars that look like crap. Wimpy, near smokeless burnouts. $10,000 dollar blowers, etc. The dumb ass racers do this every time.

Kids, THAT is what drag racing was about in the Golden Age! No clouds of vapor, but flames instead! Crisp sounding. Not much more to them than an engine, rear axle and big rear tires. Built, not with huge sponsor money, but with a shoestring budget, grit, and a burning desire to go fast. Those were the days!

These cars from 2010 sound good. Deep, throaty, big smoky burnouts. Modern nostalgia FC's sound like Sh__t !! Like glorified alcohol FC's. And they don't do smoky burnouts, either !

That's a good looking nostalgia funny car. Side skirts above the headers. Not much front overhang. BIG smoky burnout. And still went 255 mph !! Today's "nostalgia" FC's suck.
