Based on HP alone, I did too, but 1/4 mile times and trap speeds also depend greatly on the driver's response time off the line and how well the tires hook up and get the car moving. You can have 1000 HP, but if you sit there spinning your wheels off the line it's going to sap your trap speed & 1/4 time.
