Ok drag racing is all power to weight, in your sig you did not list a year or a body style but we will assume a lx coupe the LIGHTEST possible combination. With the mods you have listed you probably have what 230rwhp (giving you the benifit of the doubt here). With a lx coupe no a/c, manual windows, manual locks will call it 3050lb, no we will use ezridn Z as a example despite the fact that it is auto (which hurts dyno #'s and weight). His car weights 3400lbs and has around 285rwhp.

SO:

The 5L
3050lb/230hp=13.26 lb/hp

The Z
3400lb/285hp=11.93 lb/hp

So tell me how does your 5L defy physics

Granted traction (which it sounds from your mods you would have some), gearing, and aerodynamics all play a part the main thing is lb/hp so I am just not seeing it sorry.
