It's not only about power to weight. That is the 'going' part of driving. There are also 'stopping' and 'turning'. Colin Chapman of Lotus pointed out that, all things being equal, a 200 hp 2000lbs car will out-perform a 400 hp 4000lbs car on the average track. The 400 hp car will only have an advantage in top speed due to hp/drag.

mmm, that'd be A mk4, didn't the Mk3 weigh like 3700lbs?
