A LOT of this is highly dependant on the gear ratios and tires. My old Excalibur had a STOCK 302 with a 9" 3.5 rear gear and an ultra low FIRST gear trans. Heck I could fry the tires all day in that thing! Had to be real careful coming out of the corners to keep the back end from coming around.

Now my current ERA has more than twice the h.p. the Excal did, but I can handle it easier! Higher rear gear, higher first gear and really good traction make all the difference in the world!

It's not the horse power, it's how the car is setup.
