I had my car dynoed and corner balanced recently so I was able to figure out its power to weight ratio.

I have two EVO magazines sitting around that were super car compilations, these things are great and are more of books. In the car stats in these mags they have HP per metric ton calculated. I did this calulation for my car I was surprised about how my car stacked up. I went through both mags and made an exccel spread sheet. Then decided to add in Rolexs old car, DFASTEST951s car, and Speacial Tools car.

If you want to add your car this is what you need to do
Find your cars weight in Kg. (Lbs./2.2)
and you r Flywheel HP, for the cars I added I multiplied the WHP numbers by 1.15
Then the way EVO does it ratios all cars to a weight of one metric ton=1000kg.
So now you take the weight of your car (in Kg.) and divide it by 1000, then divide your HP by that number.

Here is the math for my car:
(413x1.15)/[(2800/2.2)/1000]=373hp per ton.

The only way I could attach it was to turn in into a text document, so you to copy it and paste it into a spread sheet. Once in a spread sheet it can be sorted by make model and power, as it in now it is sorted by power.


Enjoy. And if you know how to attach a spread sheet let me know.

Hey that's neat. Nice to see a cool normalized comparo like that.

...so Tool's car is the fourth fastest in the world, right? That's what that means?

nice job y'self, sir.

I made some changes. I added a few more cars like the newer Lambos and Porsches. When I was adding the Koenigsegg CCR and CCX I noticed that they were useing dry weight, I recalculated for kerb weight and removed the CC as I don't know if it was ever released or just final concept, and the're three other Koenigseggs up there. I also added the Bugatti Veyron which I thought was going to be on top but turned out to be a pig at 4500Lbs., just shows that other cars up there have the power for much more speed and just not the gearing or chassis development.

I am corner balanced at 2620 with 1/2 tank, if that helps.

Just noticed a typo: Chevrolet C7 Z06 -- should be C6.


Seeing the 612 Scag there reminds me of the time when i valet'd this dudes Scag and he tipped me a lousy dollar. the lot was about a half mile away uphill and the dick could only spare a buck...still sore about that to this day haha.

I did my math based on a 1650lb weight, with a full tank you would be atmore like 2680lbs., this put you at more like 512 HP per ton.

I will correct for this and the Vette will be changes to C6.

Now with some 1/4 mile times, 0-60 adn top speed. These numbers are taken as various sources and are not as accurate as the HP per Ton. I did however take manufactures numbers when available. Supercars.net was one of the main sources.
