How many horses?

Hi. Need some clarification with the specification post by the manufacturers. Nissan say 110ps so it has better pickup. But from ppl in the forum, i think nissan has slower pickup just more comfortable drive. So how do we read this? Do we need to cater in the weight as well?
[ Toyota Vios ]
Max. output (kW (PS) / rpm) 80 (109) / 6000
Max. torque (N-m (kg-m) / rpm) 142 (14.5) / 4200
[ Nissan Sunny ]
Max. Power (@ 6000 rpm) 81kW (110 ps) 81kW (110 ps) 81kW (110 ps)
Max. Torque (@ 4000 rpm) 148Nm (15.1 kg-m) 148Nm (15.1 kg-m) 148Nm (15.1 kg-m) -
yes weight. and the transmission efficiency. plus the fact that manufacturer specs may not be relatively fair to be compared together, due to differences in fuel load and passenger load during the tests.

i would say, forget what you read. cos there is more to the eye. you need to know the torque and gearing ratios and also if it is manual or auto. even in auto, it depends on setup of the transmission, like cvt which is more smooth, but lack low end.Originally posted by absolute_motoring:Hi.

most cars do not hv the omph if u r looking at them. the only way is to modify, cheapest is to pare weight by removing excessive things in the car. expensive is to change lighten pulley, change injectors/ spark plugs, add BOV, etc. too complex.
most impt dun hv to too worry what others think. make ur own decision. -
Are you comparing the 1.6L nissan with the 1.5 Vios??

of course muz factor in weight lah. y do u think motorcycles can outgun ferraris? in layman terms, power to weight is the basis for determining how fast a car can go. of course, there are other factors that affect but when comparing cars stock to stock, u look at these figures first.
