i would think measuring performance with a first gear acceleration number would not be that beneficial. there is a lot of thrust in first gear, but when your in third you really start to notice that all that hp isnt doing anything in a heavier car. i'd rather stick to power to wieght ratio numbers. less math too. but that is just my opinion.
