351W vs LT1 & LS1

depend on the combo on each car. If they make the same power, then whatever car has more power under the curve and is light will win. Its really hard to compare unknown h/c/i small blocks with power adders.

not so true. the vette was designed from the factory as a race car. it is set up differently and handles differently than a mustang. it wouldnt have as hard of a time putting the power to the wheels. look at the new gt500 and the c6(not z06) the shelby has a 100hp advantage over the vette, but the vette blows it away in all the track tests.

the c6 is faster with less power because it's over 500lbs lighter.
In straight line a handling setup doesnt shine over a more simple setup, incase the solid axle is better.
