These cars are great fun, but I would get a Mustang if you want to do 1/4 mile stuff. Can you do it? Well sure, but you need deep pockets for when you break something, and when you do break something it will be crazy expensive to fix.
Been to the strip a couple of times, and have to admit I don't launch the car. Just get on it off the line. But that's me. Go more to watch my friends beat the hell out of their muscle cars

Doing it like that, knock yourself out.

Revving to 5k and hoping you get the launch right - pass.
