I think the more acurate measurement should be Weight/Torque

My 914 6 turbo carerra has up to 300 hp and weighs 2100 lbs which puts me at 7 lbs per hp and the Cayenne might have me in a dog fight. Porsche has done a fantastic job in creating the ultimate performance SUV I give them a ( a couple of tons ) of credit.
