If you put a 1300hp motor in a 3000 pound car, it will get run over by a 1300hp motor in a 2200 pound car every day unless the 2200 pound car owner/driver/tuner is a complete idiot. Fact...

The fallacy in your reasoning is you're making HP a constant and weight the only variable, But, in fact, HP, weight, density altitude, chassis, tires and a lot of other things can be variables. Does every engine make 1300 HP?

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
