There has been alot of controversy on the topic of Torque and Horsepower and how it relates to automobile performance. I'm curious as to what is more important for a 1/4 mile drag race? Here's a scenario: 2 identical cars are about to drag. They have the same weight, tires, gears...everything is the same except for their engine specs. One car has a high torque engine with low horsepower and the other has a high horsepower engine with low torque. Now I know in actuality these cars need different gear ratios but in the given scenario, what cars wins the 1/4 mile drag and why??
Thanks
