I said its about POWERBAND meaning , a car that makes power like a skateboard ramp, will have atough time on the street vs a much flatter more linear curve.

its all about your powerband, P-W-R, and gearing IMO. thats what makes a car FAST

Okay, I see what you are getting at...so not only will I continue the civil discussion, I will even acknowledge the validity of that statement . Interstate roll racing evens things out a good bit as it allows a turbo car to 1) be spooled up and in his limited high rpm powerband, and 2) provide an infinite distance for which to carry on the race, or play catch-up, whichever the case may be. I don't know how many times I've heard; "yeah, you won, but I was comming back so hard..." On the highway you can go on until you catch up. Unfortunately for many narrow powerbanded cars, they don't fare so well when there is a finite distance being raced. Whomever reaches the finish line first, always wins.

Just to add another argument: IMHO, the roll race removes what is the biggest factor in all of motorsports...the idiot behind the wheel.

edit: as an addition to the beginning of this argument I would like to add that even during a roll race, a car with a narrow powerband may still be impeded by the lag or spool rate. An n/a, nitrous, or roots blown car is going to have much better throttle response and may be able to walk out enough in the beginning as to limit the turbo car's ability to catch up (unless you are just racing till that proverbial infinity I was speaking of)
