You have to remember that horsepower does not get you moving torque does. When I had my old 89 GT Mustang (when stock) Id kill people. 225 hp but 300 ft.lbs of torque. And thats all at around 2000 rpm too. The therory of horsepower to weight in the quarter mile in relation to how much horsepower one needs to keep up is highly flawed. You can throw out set horspower numbers but that would be assuming that they all had off the line torque. Look at a Honda S2000. Lots of high end hp and low weight. Try to launch that car off idle and see how fast it bolts off the line. Youd see the taillights of a Park Avenue. Most 4cyl cars make massive top end power (when modified correctly) and low end torque is not their forte.
