MMmmmm 150kw Escort, that would be fun!

I didn't vote, because to me there is much more to a high performance car then a power to weight ratio, it's just one thing of many, but doesn't realy tell you much about how it drives, for example an engine might make 250kw and be in a sub 900kg car, however if that engine doesn't make usable power under 5000rpm, it's power to weight would be good, but it wouldn't be one that would be any good to drive anywhere other then a race track...
