I think there needs to be a little more clarification.
1/4 mile TRAP SPEED is more reflective of car power.
1/4 mile E.T. is a combination of power, grip, driver.
One thing to keep in mind... you can always add power to a car, just dump money into the engine bay. You cannot, however, alter things like chassis construction / shape / weight placement, etc without virtually destroying the car. Once you have THAT kind of money to seriously alter the nature of the car, this entire conversation is moot.
It's easy to pick up a few lateral tenths in G-forces with tires, sway, suspension work, etc... but it's much easier to reach very high levels of cornering with a car built as a sports car to begin with. There's a reason why GT2 cars are all porsches / corvettes, etc.
