This was the part that made the post stupid:
Don't forget, AWHP numbers have a bigger impact than RWHP numbers. A 500 AWHP car will be a lot faster than a 500 RWHP car in most cases. Here's a 601 AWHP Evo vs a 644 RWHP C5Z for comparison:

I didn't say one was better, "smart guy."
I just meant exactly what I said: AWHP numbers have a bigger impact, since more power is leeched off their results with having to spin two sets of rollers. That's just my opinion, of course, but history leans towards my theory and bears it out.
Here, an Evo and a Supra with similar WHP doing a roll-race:
Now, don't tell me that the Evo has "superior aerodynamics, gearing and average WHP."
Especially against a godly, "king-of-roll-ons" Supra. Granted, driver skill is not accounted for, but in the in-car version of this race (that I don't have the inclination to look for, but feel free), it didn't seem like either driver was doing too bad. Tell me: Would the two responders against me in here be so defensive, if the original race I used as an example wasn't against a 'Vette?
I guess I should have qualified my statement with "with all things being equal," but you two shouldn't be worrying about making excuses for the 'Vette in the video. I mean, you practically just said that it has bad gearing, bad power, bad average WHP, bad aerodynamics, and maybe worst of all, a bad driver. I mean, really? Maybe you guys shouldn't be modding Vettes then, and modding Evos maybe, since the Evo is obviously superior in all categories that involves only the car.
