That car does not weigh 2300# Try 2800...maybe with driver on board. do the math...

The quarter mile acceleration time of car A which weighs 3274 pounds and has 570 horsepower is 10.432 seconds.

The quarter mile acceleration time of car B which weighs 2800 pounds and has 650 horsepower is 9.4779 seconds.

Again, this is a calculation, NOT reality fueled by experience/inexperience as well as other issues.
