ok so ive been offline for a few weeks sorting my colt out.

Im now at 210bhp and my car weighs 1120kilos

Its fast but i reckon a 5 would still easily beat it.

Power to weight ratio is there an online calculator? we aint all Duncan Grier if ya know what I mean.

210/0.1875 (is the bhp/kg figure)*1000 = 187.5 bhp/tonne :)

power/weight is the bhp/kg figure...you multiply by 1000 for the bhp/tonne figure :)

210 / 1120 * 1000 is bhp per ton

of course you will have a driver in, if you don't include him you'd assume that a vehicle with 100hp/tonne weighing 10Kg was as fast as one weighing 1000Kg....

more important is power to weight at the wheels :)
mines was 320 bhp @ the wheels and is around 1000kgs at 1.5bar
now at 2bar and 380ishbhp

so probably 380bhp per tonne at the wheels and on the up. lol its not enough
next year should be more power
then on a diet the year after lol

Wish i could lose weight from the EG and chase faster times but we adding it in instead, we around 1050kg with driver at mo.. next year we will be around 1089. hay haoooo best to follow the outlaw rules so we dont keep getting called for having a fast car as its a feather light stripped out car :scratch:
