Yep i totally agree.
Hey Nismo im not trying to piss you off in any way. Lets go over our conversation in here alright?
"BTW, drag racing is useless in determining automotive performance."- Nismo
"Useless?! No. Its not useless at all. In reality its pretty important.
People determine automotive performance by 0-60mph times, 1/4 times, and top speed.
Along with skid pad, and such." - Roll
"just because a car has more HP doesnt mean its faster
In drag racing this is the case."- Nismo
"Honda S2000 vs Nissan 350Z - not the case here
SRT4 vs G35- not the case here
Mitsubishi Evolution vs Nissan 350Z
Mitsubishi Evolution vs Subaru Impreza STi - about the same with STi more power
i can mess up all different combination, by the statement you think Power is the only thing that matter in drag racing is wrong."-Roll
"Also, dont always think HP and Torque counts the most, the Honda S2000 with 240hp runs the same as the 350Z with 287hp. Weight also should be taken into consideration. "- Roll
" Oh, sorry. I meant that it is useless in terms of all around performance. The only thing that drag racing tests is engine performance (a far cry from the total performance of a vehicle)."- Nismo
"When people talk about all around performance they take everything into consideration from 0-60 to top speed, including the 1/4 times.
Alot of people compare 1/4 times even the magazines do it, if its so useless then why do they even compare."- Roll
"I said ALL AROUND performance."-Nismo
"Someone else try to deal with this, i cant do it.
Anyways sure for ALL AROUND performance, 1/4 times arent worth anything.
I still go with my idea, that if someone want an All around performance idea of a car it would include skid pad, 0-60, 1/4, top speed, and even how it handles on the track maybe. But thats just me, crazy o' me.
Noone will agree with me. Im wrong your right. Your awesome! - me"- Roll
"I must concur, that ALL around performance includes, top speed, acceleration, skid pad, and decelration, with drag racing you have 3 out of the four, there's more, but those are the four basic ones" - knightinwhite86
"i agree with you completely rollazn"- VIPERGTSR01
"OK, Drag Racing is the be all, end all of automotive performance. I mean, why bother with lap times or slalom runs. All that matters is how fast you can go in a straight line.
And while we're at it, lets get rid of braking distance; hell, that has nothing to do with engine performance, which is CLEARLY the most important factor, according to your inane ramblings.
I'm done here. Anyone who wants to talk s***, PM me"- Nismo
End of Disscussion
Summary
Nismo think 1/4 are useless in all around performance.
Roll think 1/4 arent useless in all around performance.
Both think that skid pad, track time, braking distance, slalom mph, etc...
Who was wrong in this little disagreement?
