Subject: Watts vs. cc's

Watts are actually the standard SI measurement for power (I think
that's the official term, right?) which is what's being studied here... cc's
are the same as measuring the engine size in Liters which is not the question
at issue... cc's and liters measure engine size, not really (in actuality) the
power which is what's being referenced... A better comparison would be watts to
Horse power, however, since watts is the SI (and more 'metric') term, it's a
more reasonable solution, and a much simpler conversion between the two...
hope that actually makes more sense than it felt like it did when I
wrote it...
