Of the three choices offered by the OP, I'd say power to weight is by far the most important.

Perhaps I should of said the stats you consider before you actually go and look at a car. Obviously the way it drives/looks is important but on physical numbers which do you look for?

bhp/ton for me, with the emphasis on less tons rather than more BHP.

I much prefer a 2nd-3rd gear country lane thrash to a transcontinental dash at 9 leptons smile And torque alone is totally meaningless.

I suppose if I had to pick a single top-trumps stat, it'd be power/weight. None of them are very important, though.

Not keen on anything more than 1400mm high or weighing more than 1300kg.

Nicely arbitrary I hope smile

As far as stats go, I'm not usually bothered, but rarity is usually a factor in most purchases.

In top trumps you would only be able to choose power OR weight. wink
