I'm with you all the way on this one, photoman.
The "Dodge Nitro+ nitrous + S/C + 5" headers + tailwind + OMGWTFBBQ = The mostest fastest car EVARRRR" thread made me want to punch babies.
Race cars. Compare Slips. Sip Beer. Be a man.

A fast car in the hands of a slow driver isn't going to win any races. A slow car in the hands of a fast driver will. I've run down plenty of cars with more HP than mine on a road course - does that mean my car is faster? Nope, just that the combination of car/driver was more capable that day.
At the risk of beating a dead horse (this same discussion in another thread) it really comes down to who crosses the finish line first. It's fairly common in a drag race for one car to run a slower ET but cross the line first due to reaction time. It's also common for a more powerful car to trap at a higher speed and still lose, perhaps due to traction issues at launch. So the fastest car does not always win the race, and what sweeter victory is there than beating a car with a lower ET or higher trap speed?
All this talk is just BS bench racing. If you've got a faster car and still manage to lose, then the car needs a serious driver mod. The guy who crosses the line first wins. Period. And what kind of jerk loses a race only to say "oh yeah, well, my car is still faster than yours - look at the time slip sucka". Uh, yeah, you still lost the race, jerk.

I agree with what Mike-in-Orange said.
My answer would be the time slip - assuming both drivers are racing at the same track, on the same day.
If both car & drivers line up to race under the same conditions - then the one who crosses the finish line first is always the fastest.
Even if the winner has a slower car and wins by beating the other driver with a great reaction time.

Here we go again lmao.
Some people like to make every excuse and use every loophole they can to say they won a race or have the fastest car.
Everyone has their own opinion, some more extreme than others. That is okay I guess even though some can be quite silly.
My thoughts are: who crossed the finish line first won and who had the faster time is faster. Anything else is just an excuse.
