Power to weight vs over all horse power
At what point does outright power over come power to weight ratio ??
|
It never does. For example, a suzuki gixxer only has 150 odd horsepower. That doesn't stop it from exceeding 150 mph with ease. On the other side of the coin, a mack semi trailer might have 500 horsepower, but good luck exceeding 80 miles an hour.
There usually ends up being a minimum weight for ultra fast cars when you start to include roll cages, fire retardant systems, and aero crap. But power to weight ratio really is the ticket here. |
good example is the FRS/BRZ
|
It is all about the power to weight ratio.
