In summary, "assuming everything else is equal" means that all other factors are the same when comparing cars. The better car can be determined by evaluating specific features or factors that are important to the individual. Not all cars can be compared equally even if everything else is equal. It can be fair to compare cars based on one specific factor if everything else is equal, but it is still important to consider other factors as they can still impact the overall driving experience and satisfaction with the car.

Assuming everything else is equal between two cars, would the car with the higher horsepower have higher top speed and vice versa?

What dictates a vehicles road speed?

if you took one car and increased the engine horsepower but at the same engine rpm, you would need to lengthen the gearing to suit the higher potential top speed.

What are your thoughts on this?
 

Related to Assuming everything else is equal between two or more cars....

1. What do you mean by "assuming everything else is equal" when comparing cars?

"Assuming everything else is equal" means that all other factors, such as price, fuel efficiency, safety features, etc., are the same for both cars being compared. This allows for a more accurate comparison between the cars based on specific criteria.

2. How do you determine which car is better if everything else is equal?

In this scenario, the better car would be determined by evaluating specific features or factors that are important to the individual making the comparison. This could include things like performance, comfort, or reliability.

3. Can all cars be compared equally if everything else is equal?

No, not all cars can be compared equally even if everything else is equal. This is because different makes and models of cars may have different strengths or weaknesses that cannot be accounted for by simply assuming everything else is equal.

4. Is it fair to compare cars based on one specific factor if everything else is equal?

Yes, it can be fair to compare cars based on one specific factor if everything else is equal. This can be a useful way to narrow down options and make a decision if a particular feature or factor is a top priority for the individual.

5. How important is it to consider other factors when comparing cars, even if everything else is equal?

It is still important to consider other factors when comparing cars, even if everything else is equal. This is because there may be subtle differences in features or performance that can make a big impact on the overall driving experience and satisfaction with the car.
