Thanks for the replies with the useful information.
As for the UNuseful information : Law enforcement are not omnipresent.
Noooo...i DO believe this bottled-import could have kept up with my
built BB.

Is there any information available , or , rule of thumb....for
determining the equivalent h.p. for various car weights ?? For instance
: If a 3200 lb car has 500 rwhp , what rwhp would a 2200 lb car need to
be equivalent in power ? (Obviously less, because of its lower weight ;
but is there a way to determine it ?).
My question arises from what i witnessed tonight on a highway as i was
driving my SUV. Up about 200 yards, a small foreign car (possibly a
Honda) did a u-turn onto my side of the highway. As he got straightened
in his lane, he nailed it , and this thing took off incredibly fast and
sounded like a very loud Vaccuum Cleaner (for lack of a better
analogy...:) ; when he shifted from 1st into 2nd , he layed rubber for
about 6 feet which i could see & hear , then went up the highway so fast
that i lost track of him. I was thinking that this guy could have kept
up with my built big block Vette . Could be he was on the bottle . But,
ive never seen an import move with such power.
Dave
