Saying my car has 125bhp, and weighing 910kg, does that mean it'd keep up with a car that has 250bhp, but weighs 1820kg?

But then what if it had twice the torque?

Just a random thought

Good question mate. In theory yes, but in reality it can go either way tbh. The Veyron has about 500bhp per ton and would obliterate a Zonda F which has about the same power/weight ratio.

Going by that then Eck, it must be down to torque.
