Default about hp's...

newbie question...say if two cars have the same ie.. it has same amount of cyclinders and liters... would 300 hundred hp's be the same on one car as it is on the other....this is with both cars weighing the same. And both not being the same exact car. Thanks.

I think he wants to know if you have 2 cars with the same weight, horsepower, and engine size, would 300 horsepower act the same on both vehicles.

Which still sounds weird...

I still don't get it. 300 hp is 300 hp.

You've also got to think about torque as well as hp.

This is a stupid thread...
what's the point of it? why is it in the A4 forum? why am I replying?
I must be bored...
