HP and Weight, this might be a little confusing Options

[celicarocker]

this whole theory is going off something i remember someone saying before. not sure of the exact numbers, but it was something like "every 125lbs you take out adds 4hp" or something like that. anyway, the point is there is a direct correlation between weight and HP.

now onto my main point. people talk stuff like "car A will beat car B becuase they both have the same HP, but car A is lighter" so if car B was reduced to the weight of car A, it would be faster? like if car A is 1900lbs and 150hp, and car B is 2700lbs and 150hp, wouldnt they both be the same speed? its like that old trick question "which would fall faster, a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers" where they'd both fall the same speed. so wouldnt a 1900lb car with 150hp go as fast as a 2700lb car with 150hp?

does anybody get what im trying to say?

I'm not having a go at anyone here ok.
Is it just me or is people only interested in speed nowaday.
I understand that speed is a factor in a car.
But it is only a small factor.
You cant really use all the car's potential on the road.
Sure you can use it on the track, but how often you go you?
For me the Celica makes up for the lost in speed in other areas.
I know most of you'll agree while others will disagree,
but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
