Power-to-weight ratios are awfully focused on HP. I think it becomes more impressive if it changed to torque-to-weight ratio. |

All the HP and torque in the world is of no use at all if you can effectively put it to the ground. Just becomes a numbers game after you reach a certain threshold.

Power to weight gives you a good idea of acceleration performance. Torque to weight by itself tells you nothing... Massive torque at very low rpm will not accelerate quickly...

There are some great old cars that I've always wanted but stayed away from because of terrible fuel economy, they're terribly underpowered or wholly unreliable. Something like this might make some of those more feasible. Think Jaguar or some of the big land barges from Caddy, Olds or Buick in the 70's... Quote:
