If you want an example of efficiency taking away from the show but improving the breed just look at the super stock hemi cars. Yes, they were exciting with their wheelsstands etc. but as they got faster the suspension has evolved or tuned to the point that a good leave has the wheels 1 to 2 ft off the ground or in some cases on the ground. Just watch the record setting runs over the last years. A lot less violence in the leave to the point of being quite smooth.
