I was at the SLUSH event at PPIR today with my MSLR. I must have run at least 15 1/8th-mile drags and almost as many roll races. I only lost one race to a legitimately faster car, although I saw two other cars that would definitely have won against me handily, one of which was a Plaid. Toward the later part of the day, many drivers were reluctant to line up with me. Considering how few other cars—even highly-tuned ones—can outrun the MSLR, it somewhat boggles my mind what a Plaid can do.
That said, it is a bit unnerving scrubbing 105MPH in just a hundred or so feet from the end of the "drag strip" to the wall of the "D" curve at this track, and I agree with 12Pack's assessment that this car is a much better touring car than performance car. I bought the MSLR to be our road trip car—drag racing is just a fun afterthought.
For good measure, here's a proper Dragy report for my best run of the day (my 2nd, about 89% SOC).

Worst run of the day was a 7.40, at about 58% SOC, and all the rest were in the 7.3's. All in Drag Strip Mode using launch control.
It's worth noting that I had 350-ish pounds of people (me and my son) and also this is a completely un-preped track. I could hear my wheels chirping and feel power being reduced a bit on launch, but this is a realistic representation of on-street performance.
Here's the 0-60 for that same run.
