Weight, weight distribution, center of gravity, sophistication of suspension 
are minor factors?

Marcus has shown you can put 400 lb-ft of Torque in an ESP car. Shotz had near 
that in his (and I think the new owner has increased it). That still doesn't 
make these cars anywhere near competitive with BSP cars.
