	I got a laugh out of that one.  I count myself lucky to get into 
any car that has less than 15 pounds per HP.  I got _real_ lucky once 
this fall, but otherwise, I don't do much racing anymore.  I mostly 
autocross whatever I can get my hands on.  Most road racers won't give 
autocrossing enough credit to actually call it "Racing."  I'd almost 
agree with them.

I have 600 hp in mine.

(BTW, in case any of you are taking the 600 claim seriously, I'd like to
point out that anyone can claim any amount of HP, because noone out there
has the resources to prove or disprove them.  Even the major automakers
tell phibs about their cars' outputs.  This is one of the biggest lies of
the auto aftermarket.  Everyone claims XXHP gains from their mods, and
neither you nor I can refute it because we can't test it.  As long as joe
Schmoe senses at least a small improvement in his car, he is happy to
shell out the big bucks for the latest technogizmos for his new sports
coupe)
