"explain to me this. The ford GT and Dodge Viper are compared in that mag. The GT beats the viper in accelartion but the viper beats it in 1/4 mile time even though the GT finished the 1/4 at a higher MPH how is that possiable"

TORQUE, TORQUE, TORQUE!

Most of the ET to cover the quarter mile is based
off the first 200 ft of the race. The Viper has
more initial torque combined with good hp and will
ET better even though the GT will be making more
HP at the end of the track!
