The transmission and diff ratios also make a huge impact. Finally, at top speed, the CD efficiency of the body may also come into effect by having less drag. Also engine variations come into play. Some engines generate more HP at the hi end and less torque, some are the other way. The car designers must build a set of ratios that will allow that car to perfrom within a wide band. Some cars are faster off the mark, but lower top speed, and others are the other way around. While pwr/wght ratios are indicative, there are many, many other variables that come into play. seeyuzz river [Report message to a moderator]
