Supercar Messi - 1163

To really understand the difference between the T1 and an "ordinary" supercar, take a look at these figures:

power to weight ration (hp/ton):

Caparo T1: 1043 hp/ton

Koenigsegg CCX: 620 hp/ton
Saleen S7 TT: 508 hp/ton
McLaren F1: 499 hp/ton
Bugatti Veyron: 481 hp/ton
Pagani Zonda F: 463 hp/ton
Ferrari Enzo: 432 hp/ton
Maserati MC12: 424 hp/ton
Porsche Carrera GT: 402 hp/ton
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640: 349 hp/ton
Mercedes-Benz SLR 722: 334 hp/ton

There is really no comparison. If you want to understand how fast the T1 is, consider a car with about more than twice the power to weight ratio of a McLaren F1!

Damn, it's number is pure insanity. man! The fact that the T1 makes 575 bhp at 10500 rpm & 310 ft-Ibs of torque at 9000 rpm with that p/w ratio. To follow up on your point consider these high caliber supercars:

power to weight ratio (hp/tonne):

SSC Ultimate Aero TT: 931.5 hp/ton
TVR Cerbera Speed 12: 902.56 hp/ton
Koenigsegg CCXR: 862.71 hp/ton
Leblanc Mirabeau: 862.07 hp/ton
Koenigsegg CCXR Edition: 765.41 hp/ton
Ferrari FXX Evolutzione: 744.59 hp/ton
Dauer 962 LeMans: 708.74 hp/ton
Bristol Fighter T: 686.1 hp/ton
Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Pur Sang: 530.19 hp/ton
Porsche 911 GT1: 453.33 hp/ton
Cheverolet Corvette ZR1: 419.74 hp/ton

Just needed to voice and show even more proof, consider this the only other car that can compare to the T1 is the Lingenfelter Corvette Z06 427TT which has 1069.01 HP/TONNE!!! Just proofing zzUltimaGTRzz's point that's all, guys.

My Dream Garage:
Radical SR8, Ultima GTR 640, Bristol Fighter T, Leblanc Mirabeau, SVT Cobra S/C, Lotec Sirius, Audi RS4, Ford Escort Cosworth WRC(SV), Dauer 962 LM, Ford GT, Corvette ZR1, SSC Ultimate Aero TT
