Correct to a point...what do you think gets you going in the first place. Not
HP...TORQUE. And as for that 2500lb car...do you actually know how much the
average "1/4 mile" car weighs? (On the average, 2200-2800). I'm not referring
to the average "Street Driven tot he track" car either.
Hmmmm...let me strip 1500lbs from my "whimpy" V6 and see how she runs then.
Hehehehe....
