But can it turn? There's quite a difference going in a straight line for 1/4 mile compared to going around a 1/3 mile oval track.

Indeed. I don't care what my 1/4 mile time is.
0-60 is not too relevant but 60-foot time is more important.
I've competed exceptionally well over the years on this track with less horsepower than I have now just by being able to launch hard with minimal tire spin and good handling on the curves:



With the extra power I have now, I need to control my launches much better... So far they are inconsistent.

I cannot disagree with that but we are talking Fieros here so it may be relevant. In any event as a former drag racer I always focused on the 1/4 mile time. It seemed safer going in a straight line.
