So I wondered today, when I was talking to a fellow car person, who was excited that his car was hitting a meager 215hp...

Is saying numbers don't matter the same as saying size doesn't matter?

He He He

Meh... It really depends on how the power is made and if the chassis can handle it. The cars I hate the most are dyno queens.

Besides it's all really about power to weight ratio.

215 from a NA 4 cylinder isn't terrible, and it's nice not to have to deal with turbo lag.
