Yup - typo. I really shoulda taken that typing class my Mom wanted we to take
in High School, but then again that was B.C. (Before Computers).
1900 lb Fiat @ 135 HP = 14.1 lbs/hp
2250 lb Neon @ 190 HP = 11.8 lbs/hp
Hard to believe a SP legal X1/9 can do 135 HP, but then again I donlt know
anything about that powerplant. Can a SP Neon do 190 HP???
Not a HUGE advantage I guess, but I'd still bet that a 190HP Neon torque curve
is MUCH fatter than and 135 HP Fiat torque curve.
