Location: Midwest USA		ps - my hunch is that it wouldn't have mattered "how" it was 'worded', "fault" would have been found with the 'wording'...
for one, while the opposite is being stated, i have ZERO doubt that TEN web sites had to be read in order to post TWO that "agreed" with 'horsepower wins'

it's all just fun and games anyway, it's an argument that can NOT be "won"...

how? simply "what is more important in a RACE car?" also you mentioned the "old adage" which makes this question suggestive. and you know that
hmm... i have access to 4 other fl id's....

don't let a mod/admin hear you say that, i have a brother that doesn't have a computer but has a fl id that he uses when he visits...
an admin BLOCKED ACCESS to my brother's id until it was explained that the two are in fact TWO PEOPLE...

so i hope that your FOUR do represent FOUR PEOPLE

looks like there is a limit to how long after a post is made that it can be "edited", the "edit" button is no longer showing so i can't change the post again...

i was able to add a "don't let the wording effect your answer" (when there voting was 1 to 2), so i'm confident we are getting UN-SWAYED votes (3 since that edit)...
