So somehow the 370z with worse horsepower to weight is magically gaining back what you claim it lost in the first little bit to overtake the c5, which has better hp power to weight, and 80# more torque, to pull off a win on the 0-60? Rofl!
Bruh...I've owned both Ls1 and vq37 cars. The 0-60 and 5-60 are darn near identical.
I agree with you ^^^^
In THIS scenario....
If the c5 has MORE torque... And weighs less...
You are totally right in ^^^ that scenario.
However if weight was equal....
And car A has 100 ft pounds more torque but less hp by say 100-125...
And car B of similar wt... Has 100 pounds less torque and yet more hp....
Car A could well beat car B to the 60 foot....maybe farther out..
But car B could very likely drive around and pass car A...
Car a would get stumped into the dirt. I hate to bring the cx5 I to this but...
Cx5 diesel has 168hp and 290# tq.
Cx5 gas burner, non turbo, has 187hp and 187tq (or thereabouts)
Cx5 gas burner is faster in every way than diesel. 0-30, 0-60, you name it, its faster.

Horsepower...
Not TALKING TOTAL DISTANCE...
At the END of it...
Aka....
End of a TOTAL RUN....
I agree with you...
1000% agree with you on a complete run... Whether it be 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile or 3/4 mile or 1 mile...
You are totally right.
We are on the same team with that aspect.
I'm just saying for the first candidly very small part of the run.... Very, very small...
60 ft... Maybe 100 ft... 200.... Probably not likely... But who knows...
