You don't need MRS and the extra aero for a 1/4 mile. You don't need a diff cooler. You don't need variable exhaust. Hell, you don't even want a stick... All of that is just added weight for nothing in that environment. Even the front tire sizes are all wrong for a 1/4 brawler...
It's a road/street car... not a drag racer.. I wish people would stop arguing over the 1/4 mile times..
It's like watching people bitch because a Ferrari keeps getting stuck in the mud while an F-150 goes right through it, so obviously the Ferrari is a bad car and is overpriced for performance.
I mean, damn people... This site has more hate and animosity than a Texas High School football game

But I imagine some people get hung up on 1/4 mile times because that is the only real track time most people will ever see with their cars. It is also a lot easier to replicate a magazine 1/4 mile time (or best it) than it is to match a pro driver on a road course assuming you even have access to that same track in question.
