The young blokes at work ask about power in cars and when I say. say 500 HP they look at me blank ( 500 is pretty impressive in my book) so I say 367 kw they say WOW. I think 500 sounds better than 367.....I'm an old fart ! ha ha ha

Rob, I agree with your rhetoric, but who measures the horses' power?
I mean how many Black Caviars are required to make 305 horses? 200 or 201?
