Or just maybe HP is high because we are hp junkies. I love torque. Evan at the sacrifice of not being as drivable on the track, I get a big grin when a car pulls like a freight train. But for some weird reason you feel the need to say it is because we have no talent. My friend Stielow is building a high hp Camaro.. I'm sure it is because of his lack of driver talent.

You do realize I included myself in that comment as "lack of driver talent"? I too get a big grin at torque. Any fool with a lot of horsepower can unleash fury on the straights, but to maintain that speed through the turns and keep your momentum up is a totally different ball of wax. The "point and shoot" driving styles we see at good guys autox events are indicative of that reliance on power, and lack of driver skill. I AM GUILTY OF THIS MYSELF.
Watch mary pozzi rip up the autox for proper driving. Woman is smoooth.
If any of you are feeling personally attacked by me, thats not my intention and I haven't mentioned a single car or person. But apparently my comments hit some real soft spots for some of you.
