Numbers can be deceiving...


Why the GT-R is such an amazing car? It can put all that power to use. What's the point of having monster BHP when you cannot put that power to the ground?

Not to mention, most of the time, people talk out of their asses. *laughs*
All the bragging and exaggeration.

Here you see a completely stock Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren with 626 BHP goes up against a lightly tuned Stage 2 Nissan GT-R with 560BHP. Next an Aston Martin DBS with a supercharger by Mansory pushing out 750BHP.

The outcome isn't so obvious...

Wei Tzen Teoh, thanks.

1.)Agreed. Hence my remark on how the GT-R manages to put all that power to the ground. Superior 4WD and launch control.

2.)As I have mentioned in the post, most people talk out of their asses when it comes to numbers. Either exaggerate or under declare.

3.)Actually, it shouldn't matter. It's not a 1/4 mile run. It's 1 mile. The car with the higher HP should catch up despite how they started. But look at the DBS vs SLR... DBS clearly had a power advantage on paper and weight advantage on top of that but how did it perform realistically? ^_^
