In most cases yes. It really depends on the avenue you take. You must remember, that in a lighter chassis, less power is needed to get similar 1/4 times. [/QUOTE]

so your saying that if you take a 900 hp turbo v8 and a 500 hp turbo 4 cylinder and put them both in lets say the very light weight shelby cobra the 4 cylinder will win because the difference of about 300 lbs engine weight?you do make a good point but dont forget a v8 can be put in very light weight chassy and be driven street legaly, the shelby cobra being one example, i know this isnt your every day run of the muck honda but like you said....i guess its just the avenue you take
