These snapshot numbers are just that, snapshot. You need to look at the entire curve. A car with a fat torque curve that peaks at 400lb-ft is much faster than a car that has a skinny curve with a 400lb-ft peak.

Remember, you don't drive at the peak all day, you sweep through the revs.
+1

I didnt notice they both weighed the same.
