I agree, it's misleading to have two different scales on one graph, unless you're going to at least color-code them.

Plus, if you really want to compare stats. You should use the same scale for both graphs. At first glance, it looks like the engine in the bottom graph has higher hp because it goes up higher on the graph, but really it's just on a lower scale. The graph tops out at 300 instead of 350.

All that being said, I'm going to get the top V8 available at launch. I'd like to have the special edition, top dog Camaro, but I just don't want to wait. I want my car now!
