yea power to weight ratio this was the whole point of this video to prove my point, there is more in play other than power figures. seems some here understand that and others lack that knowledge.

We dont understand power/weight? okay. even though I was unable to see the video, a Del Sol racing a Subi doesnt really do much for the argument. Do you understand the concept of drivetrain loss? A real quick example is the B6 S4. rated 340hp? well it makes about ~250hp at the wheels. on a good day. thats drivetrain loss. that delsol has to put power through the transaxle, halfshafts, and thats it. it doesnt lose a lot of power in the process. The subi has to push it through the tranny, the center diff, a driveshaft, 4 more half shafts, and allllll of the joints in between. Do you understand where im going with this? the subi will lose a LOT more power from the engine to the wheels, that said, the 2012 subi also weights a **** ton more than a del sol. The honda is what, 2200 lbs? maybe? there you go. Its not surprising at all that the honda would keep up with the subi. because it has a decent POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO.
And stop bringing up power figures at the flywheel. its about as useful as telling us the color of the car. the only that number is good for is selling a car.
This is fun

Yes power to weight matters. but not when you have less power and the same weight. And I looked at your other posts so you again even with tune you may be 200chp which is arond 150-160 whp still 100hp less than the 350z at the same weight. But I'm done with this conversation the stupid in this thread is giving me a headache and judging by your sig I'm arguing stats with a child. And for the love of god go back to civics.
