What is yours...

My is

500 kgs
120 bhp

240 bhp / ton

 

Mines 192bhp and weighs as much as a house so probably about 20bhp per tonne

 

my red nova
800 kgs
270bhp
= 337.5 bhp per tonne

my 3 door cossie should be (dont know the power for certain yet with t34 etc)
1200kgs
330bhp
= 275


my mini im building
600kgs
500bhp
= 833 per tonne


Really you need to allow for the driver as well though, thats why bikes power to weight ratio is so meanignless when done without a rider as the rider adds about 50% to the weight!



To get my cossie to the same power to weight as my nova i would need 400bhp


To get my cossie to the same power to weight as my mini i would need 1000bhp

 

which car is that on?

 

got to be a mini with a gAy series engine i should think?

 

my trackday car
105bhp / .55 tonne = 190 per tonne

 

lol it not gay it definalty fancies K-series engines...

Yer its a mini

 

MG ZR 160 (car in sig)

160bhp/1135kgs

140bhp per tonne

 

Chip is that the Chip I think it is...

Use to go out with a girl named Cally?

alex

 

Around 320bhp ish, with the weight of a full road trim corsa (incl. the super heavy F28 box )

Dunno what they weigh!

 

S2 turbo

352 BHP per ton

 

mine should be around 331 bhp per ton when i've finished

 

Alex - when u gonna get that turbo of urs producin some proper power?

 

Mine is 259bhp and 1160kg so thats er.....223bhp per ton

 

chip - what kind of mini?

 

590KGS
275BHP

466 BHP / Per tonne

 

my car is 179bhp/tonne

my bike with me on it 534bhp/tonne

 

Mines about 380-400 without gas and abuot 550-600 with.

 

That is him indeed...

 

my car

2.1hp
weights 2.4kg

= 940bhp per tonne

 

lol thought it was...


so you of all people can call my a-series gay

Rick,

plans are moving forwards

 

348 bhp per tonne @ flywheel

 

Weight = 650kg
Power (new engine should be atleast) = 600bhp

923bhp per tonne

 

Rick, who are you?
Ive not idea to be honest mate.

Ive built loads of A series, and i call them gay with good reason, ive spent 2 grand this week on my cossie and it will be about 330bhp and reliable, when i spent two grand on an a series i'm lucky to get a reliable 100bhp

Old technology has its limits sadly.

Hence im building up this 500bhp calibra turbo engine i have for my latest mini.

 

My car 4x4 cossie with 292@flywheel ?????

My bike 928bhp/tonne at the wheel

Mark

Edit for fat bastard calculations

My bike with me on it 661 bhp/tonne @wheel

 

Cant match young Sunny, but hes MAD.
In its latest Spec 800bhp & 1300Kg = 600bhp/ton
Rod

 

anyone know how much a s1 weighs in at?


mine should be around the 300bhp mark will know for sure at the end of the week (dyno time)

 

dunno exaclty the weight of my car but right now i'm thinkin' i'm somewhere around the mighty....













90bhp/tonne

 

really, need to do wieght with driver and fuel
and power needs to be at wheels.
xrtt 174bhp@wheels,200bhp@fly 1055kgs with me and fuel 165bhp/ton@whe.. 190@ bhp/ton@fly.=13.8@104mph
cossie 390-410bhp ish, @ wheels,504bhp @fly, 1300kgs with me and fuel ish.. just a guess as aint been wiegh'd.
308bhp/ton@whe......388bhp/ton@fly

 

Esc cos 1304kg
4x4 saph 1367kg
2wd saph/500/3dr 1267kg (Cant belive they are all the same!)
s2 920kg
FRST 913kg
FocusRS 1278kg

All From torquebhp.com so dunno how accurate

 

thier ford figures,but 4*4 saph and esc cos meant to be the same at 1304kg...
in real life, with fluids and steario's and stuff car will wiegh at least 50kg more.
e.g xr2 are meant to wiegh 840kg, mine came in at 960kg with 1/4 fuel, some tools, and boot floor with spare, and bits and bobs, +85kg for me.

 

WTF your on PassionFord, stereo's Dont forget a lot are stripped out too. Just a guide to work from as most wont have weighed theirs.

 

dry weight of my gsxr750 is 166Kg
power is 139bhp

dry weight power of bike is 837bhp/tonne

add:
me 76kg
1/2 tank of fuel n other fluids we'll say 15kg? (9kg of fuel)
leathers etc say 9kg but no idea lol!

total weight 276 kg

power to weight with me ridin = 503

markk
your calculations include fuel/clothes/fluids etc?
is you bike an 02?if so weight dry is 186kg? so needs a fair bit more power than mine to be more

just used guess calculations of 186kg for bike,70kg for rider and power of 137bhp and that gives 535bhp/tonne. try addin heavy leathers n fluids in yer calculations

or is bike mega souped up with big bhp? or are you a weightless midget?


chop

 

while i have my maths head on i did some more calculations

people i took out on back of my old cbr6 thought it was fast but...

cbr6 = 186kg,100bhp

me on bike fully laden is 350bhp/tonne and with someone else at 80kg they would be experiencing 273bhp/tonne which is SHITE compared to riding alone so passengers think its fast as fuck when it aint really

even funnier to realise my new gixxer would feel quicker to my passenger at 390bhp/tonne than them ridin the cbr6 solo

chop

 

no m8 , its an 04 bike weighs 186kgs dry plus fuel etc and me is 276kgs
and it puts out just over 146 at the wheel with a few mods

so i was actually slightly out 529bhp/tonne all for less than Ł7500

 

i agree , people who race you two , can be alittle embarrasing - very rarely like , but with another person on the back you can up the weight by a third , so in esscence drop the horse power by 33% and thats what you end up with 97 bhp/tonne onmy bike

and yes passengers do think the bikes fast , but without a pillion , now that IS fast

 

Dolomite is 900 kg
Engine with Nos will hopefully be 800 hp
=889 bhp per ton
But the weight is still comming down
Got to fit the perspex yet

 

347bhp 620kg =559 bhp per ton.

 

with me in the car i wouldnt want to no
