Nice runs, but I doubt that GT is making anywhere near that power if you walked it like that....

That doesn't really matter though.

If you are within 50 or so RWHP at that level, and when the GT if I recall weighs a little less and you pull on him that hard I think of two things.

1-The other car wasn't making the power it's said to.
2-The other cars driver sucked big time.

Good points but you forgot to mention mid range tq and broader power band

peak RWHP doesn't mean much, it's all about the curve....and gearing

also, blower car have a much flatter power curve and on turbo cars the power comes on a lot harder which causes spin.

With power like that I bet both cars are still gaining traction at triple digit speeds
