I'm sure you mean Challanger 2, the most heavily armoured Western tank ever, which can out run and out manoeuvre a Range Rover Sport, as well as being equiped with Dorchester Armour, which only the Abram A1 has (and not to as good effect), otherwise. But I'll let you off.
"M1A2 Abrams
Road speed 72 km/h (45 mph) Power/weight 24 hp/tonne
Challenger 2
Road speed 59 km/h (37mph) Power/weight 19.2hp/tonne"
Funny, Armor Is not the only factor in the aspect of tanks.
"The History Channel's show Heavy Metal documented the Challenger 2's ability to brew tea for the crew from inside the tank. The tank contains a boiler for water which can be used to produce hot beverages and heat 'boil-in-the-bag' meals contained in ration packs. (Every British tank since the Centurion has this ability to heat water.)"
I thought you were BSing me on that.
