    I don't think so.

    True.  And?

    An additional three horsepower (whatever THAT means... 3 more
    horsepower at the power peak?  A power curve that's 3 hp higher
    across the whole band?) will NOT give anyone a quarter-second
    per lap.

    And... Are you also saying that 3 hp is 0.35% of the power that
    a Daytona-spec 911 makes?  3/0.0035 works out to about 850
    horsepower, which is more than a little high.

    I'll try to keep that in mind.
