And take both of those horsepower ratings, and toss them out the window.

1. That's horsepower at the engine. What you'll make at the wheels will be a good 15% less than that. So comparing the two that way, is pointless.

2. You want torque. You can have tons of horsepower, but with no torque, the car won't be quick. So, find out the torque ratings, and use that to compare.
