Yeh, depends who u drag... But off the line launches helps a bit. The guys 300zx has real crappy launch but top end its okay, but when he races like 5 litres and stuff, he gets killed on take off and they are about 5 car lengths in front by the time the 300zx decides to catch up...and by that time the guy in the V8 thinks that the 300zx wasn't even dragging to begin with.
One time I was in my mates VL turbo and he raced the 300zx and we thought that he wasn't trying to drag us, until it zoomed past, but before then, my mate had already slowed down and stuff.
I wish I could get a 1JZGTE...mmmmmm! Maybe next year!
