Wanna know your power to weight ratio ?

Take the engine BHP and divide it by the vehical weight,
then times this by 1000kgs
This will give you bhp per tonne

For example:-

Ford Focus RS

BHP:- 212

WEIGHT:- 1278kgs

212/1278 x 1000 = 168bhp per tonne

or

Vauxhall VX220 Turbo

BHP:- 200

WEIGHT:- 929kgs

200/929kgs x 1000 = 215bhp per tonne

 

And the "most obvious post ever" award goes to.............

 

 

New challenger steps up to have a go:


If you want to work out your miles per gallon then just take the number of miles you have driven and divide it by the number of gallons you used.

 

A round of applause for JAMES Ladies and gentlemen!

 

PS

Power to weight of the nova in my sig:
270 / .8 = 337.5 bhp per tonne

Should be obvious from that why once its rolling its so blody quick, lol


Mini im half way through building at the moment:
500 / .6 = 833 bhp per tonne

 

 

looks like it should be a fast mini Chip

my GSXR 600 SRAD has 99.4 / 0.17 = 584.7bhp per tonne @ back wheel

 

Mine is 570bhp/ton soon to crack the 600bhp/ton.

 

Rod, no need to show off now

 

Mine, 347 bhp 620 kg 556 bhp per ton.

 

ok 338bhp divide by 1(ton) x 1000=338,000 bhp per ton anyone want a race

 

and don't forget if your speedo is broke, and you want to know the miles per hour....
see how many miles you go........... in an hour.......
