The Mustang GT and MazdaSpeed 6 are at the top? Seems like a foolish index, to say the least. Weight and HP alone do not accurately indicate the performance of a car. For instance, A Camry V6 SE is about as fast as a Mazdaspeed 6, yet it costs thousands less. It has less torque than the Mazdaspeed 6, but it also weighs less.

Its power under the curve; and even with a real peaky curve, if you've got the gearing to take advantage of it, it don't mean a damn thing. Take a look at bikes and F1 cars.
I guess this is for new cars. My Nissan is a good bit faster than a MazdaSpeed3 or a Mustang GT and I guarentee I've got a lot less invested (around $3500 total)
