If you factor in it's new cost in 1994 it comes out to 2537.7 (with everything stock).

This is a good idea but is basically useless. Doesn't factor in things that matter on the track and on the road. A vastly simplified way to rate cars, however doesn't actually measure anything: just because a car is either light or has lotsa HP doesn't make it fast round a track. I can harrass a new Porche 911 GT3 on a track, doesn't make it a worse car than mine (or mine a better car).

Just did a buddy's Mustang he just built. SpD of 34,478, but it can't turn for crap (drag car), and has no creature comforts.
Yeah, I agree. I did the calculation on a crappy Toyota Yaris and that dumb thing got a rating of 4151 SpD. Extremely cheap cars with very low hp have a huge advantage. If only there was a handling index or something.
