Default Low end, high end, it's how it's set up, is not? it

I've been trying to avoid this argument, but felt it's time to chime in.

1.) HP is always a function of torque at a given RPM. HP=RPM/5250 X torque.
2.) Low end torque is an advantagage with relatively high gear ratios and heavy weight. Note: both Supras and Mustangs are heavy, 3000 lbs. +.
3.) HP/TQ curves are easily compensated for with correct gear ratios (rear axle and tranny).
4.)The car with the better Hp/weight ratio, and with good gearing and good driviing, and good traction will ALWAYS PREVAIL.
