RE: hypothetical
We are talking from a dig right? The only real way to race. If EVERYTHING is equal, it would depends on the cams, and the power bands of the cars. I personally would go from the N/A, because it should hypothetically have the best power band out of all three.

RE: hypothetical
By simplistically specifying only a single peak HP value your discussion(and thereforethe question put to this forum) is meaningless--there's a lot more to it than that...[/align]

RE: hypothetical
Generally speaking, most likely the turbo car would win. If all have the same peak hp then we could assume the blown engines favor the bottom end more than the n/a and make the top end with boost, which means the blown engines will put out more bottom end torque and have stronger power bands. The Turbo will be more efficient than the s/c and if setup properly, boost starting at a slightly lower rpm(assuming a positive discplacement supercharger). This all assumes many things that are not entered into evidence however. In reality there will be many factors that determine which car is faster

me an my buddies were talkin and were wondering who would win in a race a N/A 300whp or a turbo 300whp or supercharged 300whp. given that it is the exact same car

Who can ever know the answers toall these "what if" questions. You have to race themfind out.

RE: hypothetical
All should be equal.
All cars should be in their powerband from the launch, and thusly run the same if setup properly. i.e. Big stall cars off the transbrake. All will be in their powerband and making 100% of their power off the line.
For a mere 300rwhp car, most likely a simple daily driven ride. I'd bet on the N/A car. It's gonna make it's power just off idle and hold it til the driver shuts down.
