That is also why more should participate in the accel video thread.
The time it takes to accelerate a vehicle with a known mass from point A to B shows real power to the wheels.
It also massively limits the affects of driver error.

If the truck isnt making the power claimed, its times wont be comparable to others with similar 'known' power levels.
There is more to this then peak power folks... Its about whats under the curve.
I can spray a 200 shot of nitrous between 6,000 and 6,200 RPMs and make 600 + HP; but does that mean it is faster then a 350 or 400 HP truck?
