it would be too close to call, 10rwhp isnt going to make that much of a difference

He gets the question, and he answered it correctly. The only problem is that he assumed you'd be racing at a drag strip, making the important factor(s) your (and the other person's) ET(s). Car lengths mean squat next to ETs. They'll tell you so much more, so much more accurately than "Duhhhh.... I think it was 1 car length?"

but the question was set up right. he prefaced it with an "all else being equal".

10rwhp would get you maybe .1ish. thats a general rule of thumb. but u need to remember that the heavier the car the less impact more power will have.
