There is NOTHING like road racing. I haven't met one person who hasn't become completely hooked on it after the first time they do it. I've never drag raced at a strip, but I do drag race out of EVERY SINGLE CORNER on the road course. I have met several people that have gone from drag racing to road racing, but not the other way around - not saying it doesn't happen, just sharing my experience. I don't doubt one bit that drag racing takes more skill than most people possess. In fact, it takes pure talent/brilliance to be one of the fastest. Road racing requires those same skills plus many more (including stamina) to manage all 4 directions of acceleration - not just 1 (forward).
If you never do an HPDE in your 5th gen SS, you'll never truly understand what the engineers had in mind when they designed it. It was not to drag race 5.0's.
