My favorite part...

"It all depends on what els the car is packing stock wise to help the horsepower get to where it need's to be quickley."

Like a flux capacitor!
spelling aside, he is partially correct. Gearing, weight, grip, and drive config do play a role in addition to hp. He just doesn't comprehend the relative importance of each when it comes to the 1/4 mile. AWD is one of the least important factors in a 1/4 mile drag race as its weight and inefficiency reduce acceleration after its moving, negating much of its off the line advantage. But in a shorter race, like 1/8th mile other cars don't have the time to run them down. I know you don't need this explained ... I'm just bored right now.
