All your numbers mean nothing without a power to weight ratio to get a bhp per tonne figure. I'm guessing all Fiestas weigh at least one tonne.

I've got 140 'ish bhp but, my car weighs 600 kg, so...

140 / 600 * 1000 = 233 bhp per tonne.

cheers,

Neil

Only a kitcar owner would come out with something that gay :p

I haven't weighed mine yet, but the FRST was about 935kg out of the factory I think :-?

heeman10 :I haven't weighed mine yet, but the FRST was about 935kg out of the factory I think :-?


Thanks james, Ive been looking for that figure.

Even as a std weight mine comes out as-

270/935 X 1000 = 288 BHP per tonne.

However my car has been seriously lightened so even a conservative estimate of 850 Kg gives-

270/850 X 1000 = 317 BHP per tonne
