[QUOTE="72SBC, post: 16260325, member: 149641"] 1. a R8 isn’t 4500lbs lol 2. If 2 mustangs had the same gear and weigh exactly the same but 1 makes 600hp and 400tq and the other makes 600hp and 500tq the latter would win. We see it all the time with TVS cars vs other blower cars. For example, My LSA in my SS rips the doors off my buddies SS with a D1 and he makes 100whp more. Different power band and more efficient with more low end to get going. We both run the same exact gear and tire. If the R8 wasn’t awd it would lose to that same C7Z, but it has a way to overcome the lack of torque by, you guessed it artificially multiplying its tq with gear ratio and then using its higher rpm to stay in the power band after it gets moving, if he launches off at say, near idle like the Z probably did, he would have lost bad. Just to prove the point a bit more. IF tq didn’t matter, why aren’t GT350’s dominating and the drag strip? 526 Hp should go way faster than mid 12/ low 12’s. If tq didn’t matter why are long tube Coyotes faster than cat delete? More tq down low and more of it. I’m not saying tq is the end all be all but, it sure does help. [/QUOTE]
