Quote: This thread got me thinking about power to weight ratios. I spent some time looking up vehicle weights. The lap times and quarter times seem to follow HP/pound and torque/pound pretty well. I am sure all of the numbers are debatable, but they seem generally right based on what I found.
I was surprised to see that the new challenger is really overweight and outgunned by ford and GM. I would still choose it out of those three though if I had to choose one.
Hah!!! And smaller stock tires than i had on my PINTO. Nice.
Though, now that i know that, i have to say i'm actually a bit more impressed... For a near 2 1/4-ton beast with a rather high center ov gravity and tires that i literally would not want on my 4ft tall 2400lb PINTO... it actually handles pretty damn well! Dump ALL the moving parts into a 70 Challenger that is lower, wider, and nearly a 1/2-ton lighter, with some 295/335 tires and i bet you could win a race or two...
