andymalc Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 In a moment of complete Friday boredom I thought I would find out what the effect on power to weight ratio my recent weight loss would have *smile* Here's the calc (based on a R500) Old Weight - 100kg (OK I probably wouldn't have fitted in a R500 but remember this is just theoretical) plus car equals 560kg Power - 230 BHP Old Power to Weight - 410.7 BHP/Tonne New Weight - 86kg plus car equals 546kg New Power to Weight - 421.2 BHP/Tonne Increase 10.5BHP per tonne OR 6BHP in engine power 😬 😬 How much would that have cost me as an engine upgrade or weight saving. I told you I was bored *wink* Have a good weekend. Andy Edited by - andymalc on 14 Nov 2003 17:26:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I'd come in at 446.6 BHP/Tonne 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymalc Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 How old are you? Twelve? or are you a Jockey? That would make you 55kg *confused* Andy Edited by - andymalc on 14 Nov 2003 17:55:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideways Sid Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 ☹️ My old Roadsport B was only 182.5 BHP/tonne. Min weight was 610KG i came in at 630KG (so my competitors were running 188.5 BHP/tonne) i wonder what thats worth in seconds at Brands Indy. My new RS A car should give me a ratio of 222 BHP. but again if my competitors come in bang on the min weight of 600KG then they will have 233.3 BHP. Guess i'll give xmas a miss this year and go on a diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
