New car mfrs. and used car sellers should provide this ratio directly to inform buyers. It seems so basic…Any insight why they don’t?
The ratio can be manipulated somewhat and should generally just be a guide, and the assumed conditions of its calculation stated, but it’s still meaningful when comparing - 1 car to another. What do you think and why? |

<10lb/hp = interesting <7.5lb/hp = very interesting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Going back to the early 80's (Highschool days), buddies and I always used the 10lb per hp rule as the start of a "fun" car. Wasn't much back then that hit that mark in stock form. |
