Hi Dan

That's true, assuming the cars are the same mass (although didn't you say
your V8 is a tad heavier than the stock lump ?).

BUT, the other consideration is heat dissipation.  Your car with 'three
gadzillion hp' can make a lot more stops from 25 mph in a minute than the
one with only 7.03 hp.
