I do agree with u a bit but power to weight ratio shows itself in a 1/4 mile anyway.....

And these days as long as Top Gear say its a great car they will go out and buy it or atleast take a test drive.....

While im on the subject... Wait until Top Gear test drive the FT-86..... that will be AWESOME!!!!! stig, slide, shit yeah..

BUT WHEN!!!?????.... Hahaha..
