This does not accurately reflect performance. It is only a representation of Power to Weight.
In order to accurately represent performance I would have to include Thrust, Overall Drag,
Wing Loading, and many other factors but this gives a basic idea of the airplanes performance.
I am fairly certain that the Extra 300 would out perform any of these aircraft in a dogfight
and the Cessna 172 would more than likely fail to do so. However there is only one way to be certain
which is to challenge these aircraft against each other in "real life".

I used Wikipedia because I didn't feel like going through the library of books I have, and calculated myself. Would have added Thrust to Weight, etc. but didn't find it easily.
