I don't understand your question..

I know about power-to-weight ratios. Like for example a new GT has 300 horsepower & weighs around 3500 lbs. Divide those and that means each horsepower needs to handle 11.6lbs of weight. You can make a car faster by either increasing its horsepower or decreasing it's weight, or better yet do both

That what you wanted to know?
