about 160-170 i think

per tonne?

 

[DrR]

just look on letstorque.

182 169.34 bhp/ton

182 cup 172.54 bhp/ton

172 155.61 bhp/ton

172 cup 170.85 bhp/ton

per tonne?

yer per tonne

Depends where you look, EVO have the cup172 as the car with the highest power to weight.

 

[Joeh]

176 per tonne in the rallye lol, did it a while back, theres a webbsite that does the working out for you, google it it should come up

Depends where you look. 1080 Kg, 182Bhp = 168 bhp/tonne
But its 182Ps IIRC, which is 180 Bhp which is 166Bhp/tonne

I thought the calculation was just bhp divide weight x 1000?

If you go on that calculation 182 ff is 180 divide 1110 x 1000 = 162
Cup 180 divide 1090 x 1000 = 165
172 Cup 170 divide 1011 = 168

Weights taken from evo, if I have the calculation wrong please correct me?!

Is there such thing as torque to weight?

Is there such thing as torque to weight?

Sure there is, but nowhere I know of measures it. Probably because the sheer amount of torque isn't the most important thing as far as that particular force goes, and a torque-to-weight measurement would be very misleading. More important is the torque curve. For example, a car might have 300lb/ft of torque, but only at 5500rpm with the output decreasing quickly as the revs lower. Another car might have 250lb/ft all the way from 1500 to 5000rpm, so although it has less peak torque it'd be the much more torquey car to drive.

Well put there mate, good explanation. I think my CBR600RR has 103 bhp and weighs 165kg (i think) so that is 624. Is that right? It is quick.
