It is entertaining and it will be a way to track dyno results and power outputs from different or similar configurations. With a large enough sample group you get an idea of where each falls into the big scheme of things. Peak numbers don't mean squat in the whole picture. It is really the area under the curve that matters. I have seen a TON of Supra's with 800 Rwhp + that couldn't even run 11's at the track.
Well, I partially agree with you there. There are two primary requirements to getting the car down the track faster; traction and force. Although peak numbers dont tell everything about how the engine makes power, it gives a good indication of what kind of potential it has. The flipside to your logic is that you aren't going to get a car making 100RWHP to run 9's in the 1/4 mile regardless of traction or area under the curve, so you can't say that an 800RWHP VG30DETT powered Z32 car is going to, under any circumstance be limited to only running 12's.
