Horsepower in High-performance Cars
Need to use a curling iron outdoors... and only energy source is my car, what plugs do I need?
A car is considered to be "high performance" if it has a lot of power relative to the weight of the car. This makes sense -- the more weight you have, the more power it takes to accelerate it. For a given amount of power you want to minimize the weight in order to maximize the acceleration.
After all of this is explained. The auto maker wants you to think that they have a car with plenty of hp and people related high hp with speed. So, they want it.

The standard for rating horsepower has been available for over 200 years, clever car manufacturers found ways to change the ratings of their engines to suit their needs.

The horsepower of an engine was determined by multiplying the square of the cylinder diameter in inches by the number of cylinders and then dividing that figure by 2.5. Using this dubious method, What we know of as a 385 horsepower motor found in the 2001 Z06 Corvette would be rated at only 48.67 hp!
