I'm astounded at the numbers of cars here with 175+ BHP that posters are describing as "not bad" or "ok" etc...
No offense meant, but American motor engineering must be pretty shit if you can't get excellent performance out of a car with that power. Just goes to show you that BHP is not the measure of all things.
I guess it's kinda like comparing clock speed on CPUs!
You have to take into account the whole package. The quality of the breaks, the torque (Nm or lbs you Americans) and the actual weight of the car.
All very interesting (in a minor male kind of way). To the amusement of my wife, I think I'm slowly turning into a rev head myself...
