The article being written by MSN should tell you something.

TongMan · 07-16-2010, 09:45 AM

yea but are the numbers lying?

theDreamer · 07-16-2010, 09:46 AM

All they did was take how much power each car is advertised with and make it a ratio of price.
Hardly an example of great journalism, maybe next time they can do a comparison of physical buttons to weight....

TongMan · 07-16-2010, 09:48 AM

Here is what the Z is:

XX. Nissan 370Z
Price: $30,410 ● Horsepower: 332 ● Price-to-power ratio: $91 per horse

Jeffblue · 07-16-2010, 10:07 AM

using a price for the base of 30,000, we have a ratio of $90 per horsepower. ... jesus christ this is the stupidest way of rating cars ever.

That's because the 370 sucks and so do the owners!
