Thanks guys I did not think it was so complicated

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION IN PLAIN ENGLISH PLEASE

IF I HAVE 2 CARS AS FOLLOWS:

1. 360 HP@6000
382 FT-LBS @ 4000
104.96HP PER LITER
3730 LBS TOTAL WEIGHT


2. 400 HP@ 6200 RPM
368 FT-LBS @ 3800

WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY FASTER?

It depends on transmission, gearing, traction, and several other factors.
