For the love of god, a Celica weighs 2500lbs, without the driver, plus another 200lbs for the driver, so your difference is 500lbs. GT-S has 'measley' 130lbs of torque mind you....
Yes, but we need more TRACTION.
In theory, low-end torque certainly won't hurt, but you need mid-range and top-end power.
Judging by your first couple of posts, you said that all we need is low-end torque to get 13s, that's what I was trying to argue. IMO, we need traction more than anything else.
If low-end torque is such an important part of getting low ETs, how is a S2000 running 14.0-14.1 with barely any torque? How is a Civic Si running 15.0-15.2 (slighly modded) with almost no torque? (sorry Infuryum.
)
Again, I want to reeiterate that low-end torque certainly won't hurt, but getting traction is more important when it comes to our cars.
Look at SVT2000, running a 14.7 with a 2.1 60'. Just shows you how much of a difference traction can make.
And lets not forget Brad Noon's run of 13.9 with a 75shot... 2.1 60' with torque straps. Think he hit the switch right off the line to get more of that low-end torque? Fugg no.
