i agree very much with this but theres alot of stripped out fords out there that weigh less than a tonne and are pushing a good 400hp
so in that sense do you not think its justifiable to be keeping up atleast with a lambo that weighs 1600k?
looking at it in a certain way thats like 60% more weight and all you have to pull it is an extra 150bhp?

so if for example a stripped rst weighs a tonne which in actual fact i think weighs less and is pushin near 400hp and a lambo weighs 1600k and is 550 hp then the power to weight ratio on the lambo is what

550/1600 = 0.34hp per kilo
0.34x1000 = 340hp
lambo only pushes 340hp per tonne so a well set up turbo will be gone in the distance before you you can even think of your next gear cahange and as said earlier lambos only have power at high revs and even at that you need a top driver to release its full potential

its been proven on top gear when a hefty evo8 fq400 i think with 400 bhp was right up the lambos ass and the lambo driven by a touring car driver i think it was jason couldnt pull a gap??

if a lambo is so much faster and so highly rated why are you people who are ford lovers saying lambos are so good?

fords FTW!!!
