The bottom line is torque is what accelerates the car, horsepower is like you said indicative of top speed.
So if torque is what accelerates the car, wouldn't it make more sense to put down the power you have now, with say stickier tires, I use slicks wherever I go, law be damned, it's only a ticket, and I honestly have never gotten one, and i've been stopped a billion times, and with that awesome traction, beat many cars with much more "power".
I think I understand where your coming from, but i disagree that E.T doesn't matter on the street, I mean, how do you race? from a roll-on at 50 feet or what?, E.T is the number that wins the race, not how fast you got there, that cannot be denied.
Like I first said no flames here, but if you pull up next to a guy with 300 horsepower and slicks, and the other guy has 400 horsepower and street stickies, the 400 horse is gonna loose.
Try some slicks dude, you'll love 'em.
Good Luck, and spank a Camaro for me!!!!!!!
