I just don't know though, because there is also the hp factor of the 150k ride. Which can work against you on the small "peanut", but i guess we'll see if that changes when i finally get some performance suspension parts on my car.
It still comes back to well matched parts. If your 150k ride has more horsepower than the suspension can put to the ground, what was the point?
A simple course may not spread the field as much, and may allow "lesser" cars to turn decent times. But if the high dollar cars are truly that well tuned, they should still be out in front. Maybe not by as big of a margin as on a complicated course that would in theory show off their high dollar suspension, but that level of tuning should still have the advantage. If it doesn't, well, maybe its not as well tuned as they thought. Just because things cost a lot of money doesn't always mean they're better.
