I think the deal here is that more power, stickier tyres, strong transaxle = faster 1/4 mile. Regardless of how the car looks.

In fact the bigger your wallet the faster you can go. I mean you could have a 2000HP GT40, methanol with massive slicks, 3 speed auto box etc. Might not look that great or go round corners but it would do a 1/4 in the low 6's.

I think the point here is that how well does a mild 40 compare against an Ultima. Like for like. Same HP, same weight etc. As I've said the Ultima would probably win, has more downforce etc. But its still pig ugly and has no history, nothing!
