"If it could be scaled up to the size of an automobile engine, it would be 100 million times more powerful than a Toyota Camry?s 225 horsepower V6 engine, the researchers say."

Now wouldnt it be more impressive if they said: "If it could be scaled up to the size of an automobile engine, it would be 37 million times more powerful than a Porsche Carrera GT's 600 horsepower V10 engine, the researchers say."
