305 HP nice ! I'm an old fart (according to the youth) 54.. but one thing I can't relate to is kilowatts in engines. Although where I work we produce megawatts in electricity. But engines in horseless carriages was compared to the horses they replaced...305 horses pulling a cart is an impressive sight. 225 kw pulling a cart ? I can't even imagine it.
The young blokes at work ask about power in cars and when I say. say 500 HP they look at me blank ( 500 is pretty impressive in my book) so I say 367 kw they say WOW. I think 500 sounds better than 367.....I'm an old fart ! ha ha ha
