You speaka da truff there man. Suspension, properly locating the cg, and
weight
transfer is far more important then how much HP your putting out at the wheel.
I ran a Roush V-6 Mustang and
stomped on a Camaro SS. He could not hold the corner but off the line was
great. It should be HP/WEIGHT + SUSPENSION. Maybe add a (WOMAN + MAN) as
an option. <chuckle> >>
Hey I hear ya there. When I built the Magnum(78) for the ole lady
I had my frt end alignment man set it up for a single driver only.
You'd be surprised how well that helped it corner.
Not too mention we did all the S.S options like the rear springs
and relocation of the battery.
