<BIG GRINS>..........Awesome work!

Facts and data, gotta love it..........

I'm sure someone will still whine about "The predator's not 45 hp, its only 41-43 horsepower" but to keep it in the grand scheme of things, this chart does show trends and patterns that can over-all be called pretty accurate.

thanks for posting the data.

 

I just can't believe that the PowerWheels came in dead last. My kid's PowerWheels will beat a Mojave and a 300ex even with a dead battery.
