But they dont, the mustang will have a better et with equal drivers. Like i said before its a shame that you really think trq wins races. 911 gt3 415hp, 290trq, curb weight 3200lbs, final ratio 3.44, 1/4mile 11.8-12.2 at 116-119mph, c5 z06 405hp, 400trq curb weight 3200lbs, final ratio 3.42, 1/4mile 11.8-12.2 at about 116-119mph.

your assumption that the mustang will be quicker is baseless at this point. just opinion.
it's not just the finals little buddy--- whats the ratios in the transmission?
you dont NEED good torque, you can compensate with low gearing for torque multiplication.
an engine with a healthy mix of HP and torque is just a lot nicer to drive on the street.
take two engines--- both with 400hp. execpt one has 300 ft\lbs of torque and one has 400. put them in the excact same car. same trans, gearing, everything. you think they will run the same speeds? no.
it's a shame that some people think hp is the only number that matters.

Thanks, but i dont understand how me being cute has anything to do with this conversation. You just seem a little butt hurt and looking for every excuse in every area to find something the camaro is better at and all you can come up with is "ha the camaro has more trq." Which makes little difference, even more so when you consider its hardly a difference.

Yes I do. But answering a question with the same question isn't an answer. Nice try though.
why do we have two cars here with nearly identical HP--- one is lighter with alot more agressive gearing-- yet they run the same times and speeds?
Perhaps, and I agree with the basic premise.
take two engines--- both with 400hp. execpt one has 300 ft\lbs of torque and one has 400. put them in the excact same car. same trans, gearing, everything. you think they will run the same speeds? no.
it's a shame that some people think hp is the only number that matters.
Bottom line....at the same weight, with optimized gearing, I'll be just as fast with a 400 hp/300 lb-ft car as I will with a 400 hp/400 lb-ft car. However, I can go quite a bit faster with a 400 hp/300 lb-ft car than I can with a 300 hp/400 lb-ft car.
Things that make you go hmmm......
