The car wasn't built for racing down a strip. It was built for shows and handling the twisties. The B16 with the engine work that's been done is good enough for that.
If I wanted to run down the strip I'd finish up with the stripped down sol we shoehorned the K20 into, but first I need to finish moving and get the garage set up.
As far as styling it was good enough for second at Nopi a few years back.
