Yea I always look at the ratios because I think they tell the real story. I would much rather have a 2500lb car with 250 hp than a 3500lb car with 350hp for the simple fact that it'll probably get 25-30mpg as opposed to 15-20mpg. Its just more practical for a DD. And less weight normally spells better handling as your not throwing an extra halfton into a tight corner.I think it makes for a much better driving experi:happy0180:ence.

Who said girls don't know nothing bout no stinking cars?!
