Did u see where jeff gordon and juan pablo montoya switched cars? granted the f1 car is more for handling any day and weighs less but the stock car has over twice the torque of the 1 car and taht f1 car was running 25 sec a lap faster then the wiston cup carthere is a replacment for torque it's called revs and the relationship ebtween revs and torque is horsepower so horsepower is a good predivter of whose going tow in when factored in with weight and transmision
You're talking V10 and V12 engines here. If a V8 winston cup motor can produce more power and torque than that....then that's sad. F1 cars need to rev high because at 200+ miles per hour you need revs to make torque....that makes sense. F1 is about high end where the circuits are faster, NASCAR is about low end torque where they run in one gear and through all rpm levels.
I think you need to do some reasearch on the Steeda Q400 before saying anything more about it.......Steeda is a pro road racing company and the gear they offer for the GT are things like adjustable struts, anti-roll bars and etc. Check out some of their track results (all those first place finishes namely) and then try to figure out what kind of handling I'm talking about.....then try to figure out how an S2000 with ten times less aftermarket support can compete with a car with a fully adjustable road race suspension.
