HMMMM good one. I think when you consider strength and speed proportional to body size the cricket would be far more powerful. Not exactly sure what data and math would be involved to prove that theory though.

I found a biology paper on crickets, but they were more interested in biomechanics than renewable energy and the untapped power of crickets. But it looks like crickets can generate 100mN when they jump. More research is obviously needed to understand how we can use this to make our cars faster.

How about 50ft/lbs or torque? I'd prefer some torque.

Better would you rather questions:

Would you rather...

...have 50 more crank horse power, naturally aspirated and doesn't effect reliability/warranty/mpg OR have 3 month all expense paid lease of McLaren P1?

...have 75 more crank hp, still a torque dip, red line at 11,000rpm, no effect on reliability/warranty/mpg BUT you have to watch a 5 minute porn staring your parents?

...have 50 more turbo charged whp, all ups and downs of quality aftermarket turbo kit AND you can only ever use stock tires OR get 25 crank hp BUT you can never use traction/stability control?

... have 100 more wheel horse power, naturally aspirated and doesn't effect reliability/warranty/mpg OR you get the 100% factual plan for next gen FRS and BRZ for next 5 years?

I have embraced my crickets.
I am at peace.
