In raw power numbers, the Carerra has an 18% advantage.
In power to weight numbers, the Carerra has a 9.5% advantage.
The way I see it, the difference is about half of what people really think it is based on power alone.
I'm not saying I think the gearing is good or bad, just pointing out something it seemed people hadn't considered.
