Default Cossie 0-60 Times Vs Power Stats (or things I do when bored)

I got an issue of performance ford and entered the power and 0-60 times for the cossies into a spreadsheet and made up this chart. Why?

Dunno just wanted to know what the results were like...

You made a graph for cossie 0-60 times against power, but you don't want to go into that much depth? Are you mad m8?

So, what conclusions have your graph making exploits led you to?

All depends on traction as well.

A 300bhp car could be faster than a 500bhp if poor grip.

wasn't meant to be super accurate.

Plus I used a line of best fit rather than a logarithmic, so thats wrong
