First of all, what magaizine, date etc...

Also, when you say on the track, do you mean lap times, or do you mean 
acceleration?  Because if you talk acceleration, consider what the RX7 
would do with the same amount of power as the mitsu.  The numbers that i 
showed you put the RX7 WAY ahead of the heavier car in terms of handling, 
and that is a huge part of performance.  Muscle cars from the 60's would 
kick the crap out of both of them in acceleration, now which one performs 
better.  The new cars can actually stop and turn, that is a big factor...



later...
