How does a typical Nascar fair up with supercars like Bugatti Veyron, given both have drag radials.?

NASCAR is an organization, not the name of a car..


A modern Sprint Cup racing stock car has between three, and four hundred more horse power more than most "Super Cars", and weighs at least four hundred pounds less, and in some cases more than fifteen hundred pounds less.. It is quite versatile, and can be set up for many different types of race tracks, although the mandatory four speed tranny has it's limitations.. The very wide power curve, and deep torque curve more than make up for the limited number of gears, and both can be manipulated to the drivers advantage, to accommodate any type of race track, or racing surface.. The car is so fast, and powerful, if you take away half of it's horse power, it will still do two hundred miles an hour (Carl Edwards came off the ground at about 205, at Talladage a few weeks back).. In most areas of construction, the car is more regulated than an F1 car.. It is a real race car in every way, and can go up against almost any other race car in the world, on almost any track in the world (I wouldn't race against an F1 car, at the Nurburg ring).. The current version of the car has very little aerodynamic help, and can be a real handful to drive..|||I would say that Nascar's are faster saying that they are built to go about 180 MPH, and you really have to push a veyron or something to get going that fast. Then again, the engine turning RPM's on the veyron is something like 12000 RMP's so i think it would be pretty even..|||From the way I understand it the V-8 Supercars have about 200 horsepower less than the Cup cars in NASCAR. I would say if they were on a dragstrip it would be the NASCAR cars.|||Nascar is faster
