If the z4 weight is anything like the e92 weight, they add 75kg on for a passenger and luggage or something (cant remember the reason but do remember it was 75kg), so the actual like for like weight is 1505kg, meaning 223bhp/tonne ?
Power to weight ratio of your car?

Heavey car! Only 70kg lighter than my lardy Monaro VXR.
That makes your Monaro VXR the heavy car then? Especially considering his is carrying a nicely finished interior and an electrically operated folding metal hard-top roof! Whats your cars excuse?
Yes, but for BHP/tonne stats, most manufacturers are without that load, so its apples to oranges.
EU DIN standards dictate the load of the car when weight is measured. The manufacturers do not randomly decide to stick a load of weight in for the lulz. Therefore most manufacturers are with the same load.

The lardy old school V8?
Not sure you can describe the LSx range as lardy! Think it's mostly the rest of the car is made of pig iron
The leccy seats and OEM alloys are surprisingly heavy.
I thought this was just for our own cars, isn't one of those your brothers?

Well I've seen mixed results and most the remapped A1s on the forums are TDIs with Tuning boxes etc but I was sent this link:

According to that company you pay £300 for a ecu remap and get:
EDIT: if mates cars are allowed...I drove it around for a little bit today, amazing car.

How do you add 0.1 litre to the R34 engine?
Ones an RB25DET and the other is an RB26DETT if i'm correct?
Yeap a RB26DETT which was a much better engine than the RB25 - A single never ending surge of power from 3000 upto 8500rpm from two turbos rather than 1 big one which gave nothing til 4000rpm then BANG til 6500rpm and a tail off til 7500rpm but that was down to my poor Turbo choice.
