i would like to find one of those 135hp x1/9 motors. from my experience
100hp at the crank is what a well setup dsp x1/9 will make. this equates
to something like 75hp at the wheels...
to revise your statement
1900 lb x1/9 100hp = 19 lbs/hp
or
1900 lb x1/9 75hp = 25.3 lbs/hp
and why is this car dominating dsp?

dsp 19 fiat x1/9
