1995 Nissan Almera. When new:

85hp / 1035kg
82hp per tonne.

It's lighter than I thought! Advantage of no equipment

Damnit Gibbo I change car and still end up lower! Might be able to stay with you around Donny with a little banzai driving and only 20bhp/tonne defecit though, I can hope anyway

Phantom Shadow · 9 Dec 2013 at 16:46

1.4 ford fiesta 70bhp/tonne

Considering all the mdf in the boot and I'm no lightweight either in use it is more like 60-65bhp/tonne

cokecan · 9 Dec 2013 at 17:25

MK5 Golf R32 - 250/1.5 = 166bhp/tonne

Nope, just needed something for my driver to waft me around in.. the F40 wasn't ideal for taking girlies out to restaurants if I wanted to enjoy a nice Margaux!

N43SP33D · 13 Dec 2013 at 14:49

I don't know the actual power of mine so I will go for the stock 320 and the car weighs 1,270KG

So 252 BHP / Ton

Toyota Supra TT BPU

nicRob · 13 Dec 2013 at 17:54

No way does a mk4 Supra weigh 1270kg...

RenoRanes007 · 13 Dec 2013 at 20:24

Mk4 Turbos weigh about 1550kg, so unless hes managed to strip the equivalent weight of 4 (granted slim) built adults then no it doesn't.

N43SP33D · 13 Dec 2013 at 21:51

My bad, I googled it earlier at work I was looking at the weight of the MK1, the MKIV weighs 1,550KG

206 / Ton :-(

nicRob · 14 Dec 2013 at 10:59

390bhp for 252 per ton, go buy stuff!
