Honestly horsepower has very little to do with these insane numbers the largest factor is tires, the technology for tires is insane nowadays. The amount of pure power they can handle, I mean look at how 700 hp cars are launching on Michelin street tires.
Next is transmissions, again the amount of power that isn't lost, and on top of that how fast they shift.
Not saying your wrong, but that HP is maybe 25% of the equation at max. Just look at the Corvette for instance 495 HP and out paces 700+ hp cars of yesterday.
