What part of qualifying pass didn't you understand?
Chances are these guys didn't drive crappy on purpose just because it was not a real race. Nothing against either of these guys, as it's not like even John Force is perfect every time (just almost).
IF they are evenly matched absolutly. Now if you have a 200 hp vs 800 hp, unless the guy sits there for 10 seconds, the 800hp car is most likely going to win.
a 200hp car vs a 800hp car is most likely going to be a bracket race not heads up, so yeah it would matter. The 800hp guy is going to have to really have his act together since it's harder to be consistent with a faster car.
They are still dialing their setups in, Mike was shaking out the cobwebs, and both are dealing with all the quirks inherent to a >1000whp 2.0l.
I think that the fact they both ran low 9s on a crappy track with all the above is quite impressive. You said it yourself these are 8 second cars, but they're running 9's in this video.
Both are 8 second cars when they get in the groove.
I'd like to see you row an MT DSM down the track with 4 digit power.
The only reason I brought that up was because this was posted as a real 1G vs 2G gudge match, which it obviously was not.
Yes they are both impressive cars I'm sure, but these passes are not IMO. You said it yourself that these are 8 second cars -- however they are running 9's and the 1G didn't really get going until 1/2 way down the track (making his 9.2 impressive I guess).
