Bhp sells the cars but it is torque that wins the races.....my dear ol Dad used to say.

If you tucked in behind him than he was punching a big hole in the air for you and it does take a LOT of power to blow someone in to the weeds.

I have done a lot of track days and my 3.2 Carrera with 230 bhp used to keep up with GT3s and 911 turbos until they got right up in the Rev ranges, some of those had 200 bhp more than me.
