Today, we look at the physics of car acceleration, and if power/weight is the only thing that changes acceleration times. The problem is that the simplistic explanation of power to weight neglects aerodynamic forces, such as downforce and drag. Typically cars are the same sort of size, with similiar drag, however a heavier car with more power will be affected less by the drag component, hence the high speed acceleration will be higher.
