What HP rating are you using to calculate this ratio? CHP or WHP? I ask because it makes a huge difference, especially on an AWD car like mine.

I run about 470 CHP but run 345 WHP. When I do the math on these, my car weighs 3550lbs, I come up with 7.5 for CHP an 10 for WHP. Curious to know where that is ont eh excitement scale you have up i the poll, because I would not consider mine wild or difficult, but it is plenty fast and balanced. Maybe thats the AWD. I turn off the electronics on track when dry.
