look at the lotus as an example
a very fast car but with a toyota engine
you just have to look at the whole package
not just hp
Yeah this guy ^ hit it right on the head. Look at a tractor trailor with assloads of power and it would run a terrible 1/4 mile time.

Are you guys serious? If things like this (pwr:weight, gearing, etc) arent obvious to you as contributing factors to a vehicle's "speed" you shouldn't be in a performance vehicle. These are very basic concepts that my brother in middle school has a firm grasp on.

This topic deteriorated quickly and continues to get worse.
