BUT, unless you do sub 9 seconds, I dont believe its all that challenging.
To get it together for a 10-14 sec race in a straight line is not nearly as demanding as 10 laps or so accelerating, up and down shifts, selecting the right gear for road speed/RPM/track conditions, braking and cornering etc......I believe takes a higher level of skill.  :

You had better be in a V8SC for it to be demanding.. otherwise its just a sunday scoot through the hills isnt it? (This is applying your same logic from dragracing being unchallenging in cars slower than 9 seconds.... that is as clueless a statement as mine)
I've tried both and have found both to be of the same thrill and (although different) skill level. Even a 15 second I6 auto with a few mods can be difficult to get off the line and, unlike the "big brother" V8's, you have no where near the power to "recover" any mistakes.... much like circuit racing too I guess.
