Dropping unsprung weight, chassis balance and the things you mention are more important to me but that falls on a lot of deaf ears when you start into the HP wars (witness the now closed Nismo dyno thread).

Ah well...
All good, I hope I didn't make the "wrong" entrance in this thread/forum...I've been living in my intro thread for the most part

I think your post makes sense, regarding the majority of the people being quarter mile people, espcially when the vast majority of "Races" end up being light to light or on a freeway.

HP Wars always make me think of Mercedes, throw some power at it, it's okay if it's a 4.5k lb+ "super car"
