hmm, This is the way I look at it:

it's not all about hp
it's not all about weight
it's not even all about "hp to weight ratio"

There's a lot more to it than that. HP to weight is a good start, but suspension, fwd vs rwd, driver mod, humidity, etc.

I'll go mild and say it's all about hp to weight to putting the power to the ground ratio.

Negative, unless you have the power. The weather/altitude does affect N/A and F/I cars differently though.

absolutely, as long as you remove 2 of his tires and wheels.

and i do have some one to video tape it, i plan on posting it once its done, win or lose.

We race next Saturday (the 4th) it should be 85 with a slight wind (0-5mph) from the south, roughly 55% humidity, with the barometer at 1020hPa, and the altitude is 790 feet...give or take 100 feet.

Lol well in the 'tegs defense he followed that run up with something like a 16.3. It was funny watching them tech his car though, they looked at everything, and I pulled up right after him and all they did with my car was make sure my car wouldn't start without the clutch pushed in and made sure my tires weren't bald haha.

are you serious??? My freakin ford probe beat a GSR with i/h/e. Probe's have 2.5 v6, I made 154whp with it a while ago. Stock probes run a 15.5, so they are pretty closely matched to the 4.0
S197's.
