turnover Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 it will be around 230 to 235 hp per ton at flywheel
Admin Vista Posted March 24, 2011 Admin Report Posted March 24, 2011 Power to weight ratio is normally expressed in terms of horse power per ton. if you had 100bhp and your car weighed 1 ton you'd have 100bhp per ton, if it weighed 2 tons you'd have 50bhp per ton etc. Yours at 0.85t and 205bhp equates to 241bhp per ton (205 divided by 0.85)
