[VintageLambo] Re: Accuracy of horsepower figures.

Hi Roy, I went for a ride in a bmw 750 in europe in 1989, and I remember thinking "this is the best car ever made!"My comparison was that it was like a rolls, but without all the obvious problems. Still, I would just say that the espada and 750 are two different cars from different eras -- obviously.You"ve got a tiny Italian company that doesn"t have anywhere near the engineers or budget of BMW (or mindset), there"s just no way they they can pull something like that off. And there are, obviously, huge advances in technology from year to year.What year is your 750?I"m guessing it"s at least a decade newer than your espada.AR was pointing out how much less HP is lost through the drivetrain these days.Do you think that might have something to do with it? What I"d really like to see is a comparison of the 1965 Lamborghini 350GT and the best 1965 BMW CS.I"d like to drive each and then see which car deserves the title "ultimate driving machine." ;^D Best, Fred
