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.

My thread was older!!! LOL
Yeah per tonne.
210/0.1875 (is the bhp/kg figure)*1000 = 187.5 bhp/tonne
Loose some weight...
210/0.1875 = 1120bhp/kg210/0.1875 (is the bhp/kg figure)*1000 = 187.5 bhp/tonnewhat car is that on
Maths fail.210/0.1875 (is the bhp/kg figure)*1000 = 187.5 bhp/tonne
Way to go, Vorderman
Balls, I knew what I meant, I've even written it down 3 times
What I meant was (210/1120)*1000...
What's wiv all dis x by 1000 after me done da sum fing
Just move the decimal place in the weight innit ....210/1.120
Its the czt mate. Its going on a diet in the winter.210/0.1875 = 1120bhp/kg
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
