[nig]

some thing different what was your car standard and after any mods mine



rover200 997kgs 109bhp = 9.146 kg,s to 1 Bhp
Hope to get to 2.045 kg,s to 1 Bhp

and then make a list up should be intersting. maybe add the 0 to 60 in sec,s as well as there is some tasty motors hear...:blink:

well my poor old jag weighs in at 1606kg with only 225 bhp =7kg per 1 bhp.
ok it is losing some weight by having the bumpers removed.
and the engine will be tweeked a wee bit.

i'm hoping aerodynamics improvements will help it go better.

 

[pgarner]

1330 kgs 184bhp
7.1 kg per bhp
that sounds really bad i perfer the 138bhp/ton

 

[MasterAuron]

The GT before it was ripped apart (est):
960kg - 180bhp = 190bhp/ton

When it's finished hopefully (est):
900kg - 300bhp = 338bhp/ton

The Alfa GT:
1365kg confused - 150bhp = 111bhp/ton.......
.......remap soon methinks......

 

[lutonmatt]

going for the 2001 trans am
1,560 kg - about 450bhp so what every that =

 

[MasterAuron]

293bhp/ton

Only 1560kgs? You sure?

 

[lutonmatt]

You know me too well already

Original = 700kg/105bhp = 150bhp/tonne or 6.6kb/bhp
Target on pump fuel = 550kg/530bhp = 945bhp/tonne or 1.01kg/bhp
Using C16 racing fuel = 550kg/640bhp = 1163bhp/tonne or 0.86kg/bhp

Then, there is always the nitrous..............................

Surprising that considering it's size and the motor in it. Fair play!

i know i was shocked but they are not as heavy as you think they are

nearly all the metal is ally all but eh back wings are plastic or fiberglass
so does save a lot of weight

 

[coupe]

well i have just lost 40kg from mine, by losing the bumpers and fittings.

so i'm down to 6.9kg per 1 bhp now.

cant lose much more, so its engine tweeks next.
