[QUOTE="John M, post: 564432, member: 63037"] HP isnt everything, TQ plays a big factor into the entire equation. Sure Honda,Nissan and Toyota can make 300HP in a 2500# car but why will that car only do 14-15 seconds in the 1/4 mile ? It doesnt make any tq. A Domestic 300HP 3200# will run 12-13 seconds in the 1/4 mile, its the Tq that is the difference. A V8 will always have a flatter HP,TQ line than a 4 Cyl or 6cyl, the high HP 4cyl or 6cyl might make big hp at 6500RPM but at 4000 it doesnt make much. Now so you understand what Im say, How often are you driving at 6500RPM ;) [/QUOTE]
