But, if we put our OEM wheels and tires back on we could turn the AC on and drive this car across the country tomorrow.

That is the point I was trying to make. Pure stock is cheaper for you because you want it that way. If you choose to try to make your car the fastest the cost would go up. It's the same in NHRA. Fast costs money.
