series70boy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 hi allwas having a debate with a mate recently and you might be intersted in slamming this into your local halfordsi said my ep70 with 1.3 2e engine would be quicker than a citroen c1 1.0he would not hear it and kept going on about age and then kept moving onto equiptment levelsso we went through some tech specsand settled it with a tech spec war, i worked out the power to weight of both carsmy ep70 delivers 111.9bhp per tona 1.0 c1 offers 58.55bhp per tonand then i worked out one of my fave carsmg zt 190 (2.5 v6 24 valve 187bhp)122.58bhp per toni could have that whipped with a nice induction kit and exhaust system, imagine how much i could smash the zt 120 (same weight but only 118bhp 77.35bhp per tonquite interesting hey folks???????????

Steve GT Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 yep look at the BHP/ton table on the left sidebarquite an interesting read funny to see what a 200bhp turbo can keep up with lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 it is, the HRF V300 has pretty much the same BHP per Tonne as a Veyron... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BearFaceOfDoom Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Just cause you have the same BHP/Tonne doesnt mean you'll keep up with it ¬_¬Torque, rev range, gear ratio's all come into play...The man speaks sense! However you should still be able to waste a C1 lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
durmz Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 i doubt ude keep up with this c1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Would its french it'll die Hate C1s with a passion, ive drove a few and they are pathetic to be honest. Slowest thing ive ever driven. Starlet would nail it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Remember a C1 is basically a Toyota Aygo. BHP per tonne and BHP figures are somewhat meaningless, like Rubix Cube said you have to think of other factors. It's easy to get caught up in big numbers and a lot of people seem to go in with their Starlet blinkers on and think they can beat anything. Starlets are great but they are certainly flawed. They can be great cars once you pour some money into them but as a standard car the handling and brakes are pathetic and the engines aren't really that strong once you compare them to some others.BUT they do have something about them which makes them feel more "special" than other cars even if the N/A ones do look very bland.

series70boy Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 no power steering on the ep70 as you say and of course numbers are not everything!!!!!!and yes my mate has modern tech on his side but that will be very underpowered and heavy, plus too busy changing the track on his cd player, i will be focused on the road, listening to radio 2 as its the only station i can pick up (broken tune dial), iso adapters for new sterio unavailible to fit an ep70!!!!!!!trust me, when i win the lottery it will be a 4e-fte lumping, 1bar boosting, coilover weilding, brembo braked beast!!!!!watch him beat that in his c1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
durmz Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I love the way this all aims at beating one of the slowest cars on the road lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
series70boy Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 it may be aiming toward beating a c1, but only us starlet owners know how good they are, all other pesants are living their life blissfully unaware of the speedy joys they are missing out on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
