Here's you answer:
HP may be the same on both cars @ 240, but the 4-cyl has 30 more torque. A difference of 30 in torque is quite a lot.
Take note that torque helps a car accelerate faster. 6.2 seconds to 60mph for the 4-cyl, and 6.6 seconds to 69mph for the 6-cyl.

I didn't see the distance of the sprint, any one know what it was? If it was short, the N20 is going to have the advantage like you said but how would the N52 compare in a proper race? That's what I would like to see but still, the 4-cyl N20 is a great engine.
