Default weight

Hello Mate
I've got one too........
995 kg

2189 pounds

in otherwords it weighs .9774066 of a ton

so.....

Whatever your power output divided .9774066

Ie mine is currently 186 bhp

therefore

186 divided by .9774066

so

my p/w ratio is 190.29951 per ton

So the only every day car that gets near it is.... NONE HaHa

Hope this helps
All the very best

Default Weight too

Hello Mate
I don't know where you are but if in doubt most council tips will have a weighbridge there and you'll usually be able to grease the guy's palm
with a fiver to weigh it exactly.

Would have thought that the Escort Cab would weigh more than a standard RST, understandably it's not got a roof but the strenghtening that they have because of being topless is far more than a normal hatchback...
