MPH for sure, but when talking about power, KW sounds better. IMO

MPH, even though I have grown up with metric. For drag racing, its the quarter mile and mph... although I am used to rwkw and not rwhp.... bizarre!
I think the car mags do KPH and 400m.... never seems quite right to me. But then, their times never seem quite right to me, and they measure it all differently, with a passenger and half a tank.... BAH. Need to get them out and do some real drag racing! Hehe.

See, it all depends on what car you're talking about. I can relate to 300 or 400HP XY or XA for example, too strange quoting KW for these great machines. When we're talking a BA XR8 or GT though it has to be in KW, it's what we're used to.

It should be MPH for sure. On another side note bit off topic. Up here in QLD i heard a rumour that the 1/4 mile was going to be reduced to 360m or something?
