Default Power to weight ratio's 84,86,89?

What was the weightn on these cars? It seems the 85-86 with the higher output motor would be up there in the weight to h.p. ratio. How do these stack up?

If you include Euros... 84-86 S2s have the best power to weight, except for GTSs.

So the '80 S Euro is 188 bhp/ton and the '89 GT is 186 bhp/ton, accelleration times are 7.2 and 5.8, even I can work out that doesn't make sense.

Being fat and lazy 928 has surprisingly good power to weight ratio.

0-100 kmh or 0-60 mph times have more to do with gearing than kg/hp and hp/1000kg

So how do devices like G-Tech Pro work then?

HTML Code:

accelleration times are 7.2 and 5.8, 
even I can work out that doesn't make sense
Look at the torque figures/ton...
The gt is about 10% higher than the '80 S Euro
also gearing and stuff makes a difference, for example if you can do 60mph and still be in first gear...
