The latest cars and especially in US are known to be much heavier pretty close to 1280-1290 kg (2822-2844 lbs). It depends also the trim level. If you do a simple math equation, then you'll find that weight to power ratio gives an equivalent from 240hp to 251hp if you compare it to the heavier car. I said feels like 250-260hp, because we cannot even agree if the first cars had an actual 200hp or a 190hp power figure.
Do your research better next time.  |
More quasi science applied just like usual. And the ever popular "I don't think this so it isn't true" to the facts. Very cute how you take the weights and convert it to HP when it meets your needs. The first cars had 200HP that is not up for debate. No they did not put that to the ground but that does not mean that is what they were rated at.
Congrats on beating Mike BRZs 221NA record claim with a couple of bolt on parts and a tune. Good work as always.
