So say we put a 200 HP engine in an invalid chair. Lets say the engine from a BMW S1000RR, with suitable transmission and tyres and fairing with its small frontage and low weight it would eat that fat Porche for breakfast. cornering would be another issue tho.
But in a straight drag race my monies on the invalid chair.
The BMW will do a 1/4 mile in about 9.5 secs
Not sure about the Porsche, seen a 911GTS2 do it in 10.9.

He he, I have quite a lot of first hand experience with the Carrera GT (only 640hp though with straight pipes) and many cars beat it to 70. Not that many beat it on a track though - especially not a wheelchair

A superpowered wheelchair would be like a Veyron. Fast straight ahead but what does that really matter as race tracks and reality is not made up of straights?
