I've not drag raced in almost 15-years, but I keep in touch with several friends that still bracket race both dragsters and door cars. And times have really changed. Seeing an 8-second door car is just no big deal these days. The suspension technology, the ignition technology, and especially the turbo-charger technology improvements are now sending 4-cylinder door cars down the track to an easy 8-second pass. And I'm talking about cars that race at a local level. There are 4-cylinder door cars running mid 6-second 1/4-mile times. Like I said, times have changed.
