Trust me, your butt dyno ain't that good.
Even a side by side drag race is often less than perfect as a test medium. One driver is better than another at hitting perfect gear changes, somebody jumps the gun by a hair, somebody lays a 100 foot patch in their excitement, etc.
And by the way, even a basic chart like this one is infinitely better than "my torque curve is bigger and flatter so my car is faster than yours".
Nope, you're never going to get it.

Well I guess that's where we have a difference of opinion. Because to me the side by side drag race is perfect. Even with the fact that there is driver error. Paper numbers have no value in my book if you consistently come in last in a drag race. You can argue all you want how perfect your car is on paper but for whatever reason if it's not winning races then those numbers don't mean anything.
