@rokrsdriveclub: Replying to @Mthimbane Learning about cars in under 60 seconds. Understanding power-to-weight ratios helps you appreciate why some cars feel faster and more responsive. Power-to-weight ratio is the measurement of a vehicle's horsepower relative to its weight. This ratio determines how efficiently a car can use its power. A high power-to-weight ratio means a car can accelerate faster because there's less weight for each horsepower to move. This is crucial in performance. Conversely, a low power-to-weight ratio means the car might feel sluggish, especially under acceleration. This is often seen in heavier vehicles with less powerful engines. Manufacturers achieve high power-to-weight ratios by either increasing engine power, reducing vehicle weight, or both. Materials like carbon fiber and aluminum are often used to keep weight down without compromising strength. #learningaboutcars #cartok #carguy #cargirl
