EVR Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Can someone post the maths to work this out please? Mine weighs in at 520KG and produces 155 BHP Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Woods Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 1000Kg / the weight of your car * the bhp = bhp/tonne in your case this is 1000 / 520 * 155 = 298 bhp/tonne This is per metric tonne (1000Kg) Nick Red and Black 1.6K supersport visit Carrotland.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks Nick! Off to see if I can lose 5 KG from the car to make it an R300!!!! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Brilliant, mines a R321 ! 180 bhp X-flow and a rather lardy 560kgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Brown Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Shaggers, I'd say you've got 250 bhp/tonne. However, you have to pay extra for the "R" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Park Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 So I guess my HPC would be classed as an R282! A lardy 620kg and 175bhp. Parky The 'Rubystone Red' HPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
