Tyler does sound confrontational, but there is some science in there somewhere. The question is: What if I build my car with just the right amount of power--And just the right size tire? Is balanced design more competitive than excessive design? Does excess power serve any advantage other than top speed (both 1/4 mile and open road race). Do ultra wide tires hurt lap times?
Of course the real question is: How does one determine "just enough power"? Where's Goldie Locks when you need her? "This car has too much power...This car does not have enough power...This car is just right." Boost can be dialed out.
So benchracing aside--snot kicking and all--I'd like to see an objective discussion on the subject of balanced vs excessive vehicle specs.
