[QUOTE="paluka21, post: 13549410, member: 20747"] It often doesn't have a lot do with the total horsepower a car is making, but rather the overall horsepower/torque curve a car is making. A car can be making 560rwhp at 6000rpm, but only 300rwhp at 4000rpm. Highly unlikely, but you get the point. I've seen plenty of dyno queens over the years making 500rwhp and run like crap at the track. Similarly, I've witnessed and owned a car that is making 400+/- rwhp run in the 10's in the 1/4 mile. Semantics and math tell us that= a lighter car with equal or more horsepower/torque across the rpm band will win the battle given all other things are equal. ( assuming traction, driver error, health of the car, rpm being shifted at, etc. ) Congratulations on hanging with your buddys car, but don't expect that outcome on every race with other similarly powered vehicles, which are nearly 1000lbs lighter than your car.
