That's a really nice car. Our cars are more "torque-eee" than "horsepower-eee" though. Lol

that is what is so great about our cars...flat torque curve starting at a low rpm and staying consistent to the end...makes them more fun to drive...like a turbine car!  Okay, I never  drove a turbine car so I may be guessing a bit!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

They didn't seem to think actual eighth or quarter times were necessary? I guess they are used to bench racing the dyno? I don't care about the power. Can you lay down the number on the street or at the track?

I agree to an extent...I think the dyno numbers can provide a sense of comfort for those who're not interested in the track.
