Didnt i just said "on a purely engine standpoint" on my original post.
That DOES NOT include other variables such as weight, aerodynamics, gear ratios, roll resistance , driving techniques...etc..etc...
Weight doesn't effect top speed much? I guess that 500lbs+ weight diference between the Celica, and the Elise is not a big factor at all (same identical engines)
; and how about the hulking weight of the Camaros??
