He's talking about road racing, not drag racing. That'd be the difference.
The only big-block car I've driven was an XD ute with 460/C6, fully eng'd. It was pretty dozy state of tune, built for towing, but there was no disguising the torque and the owner said he could beat WRX's. Also the big motor was fantastic at holding the front of the car on the road, you could really feel the extra weight.
Think very carefully if the BB is the way you want to go though, as it's a biiiig step and everything from fuel to insurance to parts will cost more.
