So assuming a 4:1 rear ratio, in 4th 1:1, car 1 has 480 ft/lbs of force, car 2 has 500 ft/lbs of force. At 100mph 400 ft/lbs are used to knock the air out of the way.

 

Car 2 is accelerating using 100ft/lbs of static torque, Car 1 80 ft/lbs. Car 2 appears to be accelerating 25% harder than car 1.

 

At 20mph in 4th (heh), car 1 accelerates with car 1 has 480 ft/lbs of force, car 2 with 500 ft/lbs of force. Car 2 appears to be accelerating 4% harder than car 1. Same percentage if they are in 2nd gear.

 

F=ma, no matter what speed you're doin. But boy will you notice a horsepower gap at high speed.

 

 

So with all this ^^^, whip it out !!!  (your calculator or crystal ball) 

 

What are the final numbers for each car ??  Car, weight, RP, whatever.
