    Someone doing a little leg-pulling here?

    302 HP will get you about 12.5 at 108

    750 HP gets 9.24 at about 147.

    . . . and that's rear wheel horsepower.

    If you're running 147, you hae a LOT more than 302 hp . . . and the car ain't hooking up too well.

    What's the real story?
