Yea I agree a track like willow springs with Long down hill straight the high HP car will most likely prevail.

....and that's the point. Horses for courses.
If I'm on a KART track with lots of corners then weight and set-up counts, if I'm on a drag strip, then all things being equal I'll take the horses.
...and if I'm on the street, well it's all kind of irrelevant bc even a Prius can be issued a speeding ticket.
