Power to weight ratio means squat. A Midget was a sports car and probably had as much HP as my lawnmower.

Good point - if you look at the specs of a lot of classic "sports cars", some of them are pretty slow by modern standards. I was just reading about the Porsche 356 Speedster, and it had a 0-60 time that's on par with most modern cars' 1/4-mile times!
