So Inde isn't at 4400' elevation, or having a DA of 5000'+ doesn't make a high HP car easier to launch? Is that your assertion?

Have you ever actually been drag racing? When's your ZL1 show up?

Please, use your brain. They pulled 0.98 on the skidpad in the "sand" as you call it. Even if you figure that'd work out to 1.02 on a better surface, you're talking about a few percent difference in grip. While with the HP reduction caused by altitude, you're talking about around FIFTEEN PERCENT reduction in HP. Again, do you not understand how much easier that makes a 580 horse car to launch? Have you ever driven a 550+ horsepower car?
