old-git Moderator Points 657 Location Essex Car Elan & Robin Hood 14 January 2015 #2 Very rarely is someone going to think, "I want a 10 second car, what shall I start with? " The normal thought is, "how do I make my ride a10 second car?" Power and weight are not independant, they are joined at the hip. The ratio between them determines how fast you can go.
