More Top Gear Available

[Tai]

I noticed they have added the earlier seasons of Top Gear to the netflix library at last. We watched some episodes of Season 11 last night and had some fantastic belly shaking guffaws.

I also found out that my mustang now has more horsepower than a Ferrari 430 Scuderia, take that Michael Schumacher =P

cool, but what's the difference in weight?

[Tai]

surprisingly, only a mere 620 pounds (or 400 for the regular F430). :) However, using some very rough math (I don't know the Ferrari hp value at the wheels, nor my hp value at the engine) I think I have a slightly better weight to power ratio. 6.5 lbs/hp vs 6.7 lbs/hp using a very conservative value of only 10% drive train loss for the Ferrari.

Then again, I've also got 200 ft.lb's of torque more than it. Bwaaaaaaaaaaa!! ;)

I suspect the Ferrari probably handles a bit better though. :)
