Depends on what kind of track you are talking about. There are 4 different tracks:
1) Road course
2) Autocross course
3) Drag track
4) and Rally

At an autocross it's usually the driver's skill which can make you a winner, not how fast the car is. And there's also a handicap system called an RTP index, which evens the playing field so you can see if a Ferrari is really faster than a Civic depending on the class and the RTP index.

At one autocross I beat a Carrera 4 on DOT R tires with over 400hp with my 91 Civic Si on Falken Azenis with 100hp. That course was over 120 seconds long.

There are too many factors to take into consideration. Horsepower is NOT the definitive. I've killed plenty of v6's that had upwards of 100hp on me with my *almost* stock b16. You don't necessarily have to drive a faster car; you have to be a better driver.

it also helps when they aren't actually racing you

known 1/4 mile times for many cars http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html a slow car is slow, the inabilities of the other driver does not make it faster

what's really sad here is we have honda sack riders who don't know anything about making a honda fast arguing with several people who have actually built fast hondas

1) Them not actually racing may help for you, but I don't stoop to your level.

2) That site is horribly inaccurate. Compare some of those numbers to those done in road tests. Even with those numbers, a GT stang is slower than my car. A slow car is a slow car. The inability of the driver makes it SLOWER.

3) I don't give a damn if you built a honda with a rocket engine strapped to the top, you're an arrogant douchenozzle.

4) What's REALLY sad here is THIS:

Learn how to type. Climb off your high horse, and come to the realization that you, too, are an idiot.

I don't doubt you guys have built fast cars. I'm not arguing the point. I'm just saying I've taken cars with significantly more horsepower than my own. If you can't swallow that, go swallow the usual. Once again, horsepower is NOT the definitive.
