Default Why do people not understand?!

There are, for some reason I fail to see, people that don't believe that a car with 280whp will beat a car with 500whp from a dig race. It's not ALL about hp #'s d00d. Just because you have a m4d tyt3 SRT8 Charger/300C with more power doesn't mean you can beat a suspension/tire/chassis car with less power.

No one told the driver of the (insert high hp car here) to disadvantage himself with a stock chassis/suspension/narrow tire. Don't use the "Oh, he's running a slick, that thing is a race car" excuse either. He brought a less powerful car and you're mad that your car got spanked, end of story!

Because some people can't comprehend HP/weight is more important than just HP #s, especially when the car's suspension is set up to get the power to the ground.

You'll never hear me bitching about it.

I agree - too many people focus on the hp number and completely ignore basic stuff like tires and UCA/LCA's. Too bad for them. If stuff like that didn't matter, you would just whip out dyno charts the guy with the highest number wins.

And don't even get me started on power under the curve........

Haha thats what I'm trying to figure out.

But yeah, HP/TQ is worthless if you can't put it down. Kind of preaching to the choir here aren't you?
