    No,the acceleration is very different,the thou's are sorta peppier,but the 12's and busa's pull harder longer.The acceleration on the thou's is from power/weight,where the busa's/12's comes from power/torque/aerodynamics.(obviously weight comes into play too,but this is so you get the idea of the different way they work...)A thou will prolly win 100-200kph but a bus or 12 will win 250-300+.It's all in the torque they make....
