i think that at these types of power levels, it is going to come down to who can actually figure out how to put the power to the ground. in which case, the awd configurations will have an advantage over the rwd cars. i also suspect that as we continue to push the envelope, we will soon see 3.XX 60 - 130 times, as well as 1/4 mile trap speeds in the mid to high 150's or even low 160's.

Trap....ET which is basically traction and a big part of it being the 1st 60 foot and how well it leaves the line has nothing to do with which one will win from a highway roll. For instance to cars running 11.90 one at 115 mph and the other at 120 mph...the 120 mph car will pull much harder from a roll.

based upon the data we have with sledgehammer, i am not sure that the peak hp # is going to be as important as how much power we are able to put down to the ground throughout the meat of the powerband. i think that if we can keep the meat of the powerband at a minimum of 1000+ rwhp, it should be enough to net a 3.XX 60 - 130 time and probably a mid to high 150's trap speed. the key is to the deliver the power is such a way where we are not just spinning all 4 tires.

probably not,but it remains to be seen if the motor and tranny can handle the power that would be needed to put those numbers down.

the two platforms are nearly identical. So it is a matter of traction as what has been said. I think Art could have gone faster and I am sure Joe can as well. Once you mod the 997tt beyond it's factory turbos, everything equals out.
