Default Re: horsepower wars

The import car manufactuers are at horsepower wars with each other. Every commercial I see is "The all new Blah" "300 horsepower" "It can outperform your car"

Things they leave out

-Out perform me in what? Handling? Sorry, but I'm not going to autocross this weekend.

-You forgot to mention torque. I guess that doesn't matter though?

-Such a nice car with incredible technology. Oh but wait, for what it costs I could put a downpayment on a house.

Things that are stupid

-If I took corners that fast IRL I would be pulled over by John Law in a second

-Nice 4 door family luxury car. Wow that speed comes in handy when I live in an area that consists of 70% roads that are under 30mph speed limit (NoVA)
