issue is closed unless someone wants to plead the case for SC.................
I would agree when it comes to accelleration, however horsepower doesn't help you at all under braking or cornering.

In my previous post, I didn't mean that horsepower was a substitute for weight loss. What I was saying is to get your car as light as possible. If you are under the weight limit allowed by your class, place ballasts in ideal positions. If you cannot possibly get your car light enough to be at the limit allowed by your class, then you add as much horsepower as you can. Like I said though, horsepower only helps your acceleration while weight reduction helps acceleration, braking, and handling.
