Taggy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Its at the bottom left of your screen under the UKSC keyrings pic on the left, see it "BHP/Ton Table" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 http://www.ukstarletclub.com/power-to-weight.htmlCheers mate! Its at the bottom left of your screen under the UKSC keyrings pic on the left, see it "BHP/Ton Table"Ahh so it is lol.. I'll remember for next time, Cheers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max9650 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Cheers mate! ;) Ahh so it is lol.. I'll remember for next time, Cheers mate I Cant believe that a EP82 is faster then a BMW 535d Sport lol let alone half the cars on the list, ;) think i have underestimated my car as i havnt yet had the chance to compare it to any other cars and a VXR Vectra is 161 where as the GT Turbo is 160, Man my boss is going to love this website lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Power to weight figures doesn't mean your necessarily faster... traction, suspension, tyres, they all play a part Being light does help though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 most of the cars on that list will have far far more torque aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Power to weight figures doesn't mean your necessarily faster... traction, suspension, tyres, they all play a part Being light does help though.so does gearing and areodynamicsbut it gives you a decent idea as i pulled away from an 11 plate Nissan GTR and my bhp/tonn is 315 and theres is 309 i comfortably pulled away (not massivly but enough to.make him.regret spending 60k car haha)till 5th then it started to scream up behind me but hey its a 500+ bhp 3.8 twin turbo hahabhp/tonn with out driver or passengers accounted for both had a passenger tho Edited December 11, 2012 by Jack-CTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 So you pulled away from a GTR in a 280bhp glanza?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yup there not that quick, reallyas above look at the power to weight, after a certain speed it was alot quicker as brute force aways wins eventualy, and launching its 4wd.. but 60-130 it wasnt as quick ( on a privrate run way) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 60-120 we were makin distance on it, i wouldnt say we jumped him eithere cause he were in the right lane on our private road after 120 he were pullin us back and went past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm well impressed at that! 300+ in a GT must be mental Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 First time he booted it before me hahaimagine the boys with 400+.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 haha, thats awesome!as said, imagine if you buy that zisco kit.................. get on itttttttttttttt!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Haha lend me some.money and i would Tbh even with 400+ the gtr would get past after 130/140 thru brute force and gearing280 or 400 bhp still a low torque non areodynamic 1.3 at 140 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 All depends on the torque curve really.BHP/tonne is only an indication for acceleration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 so having an extra 120hp would make no real difference?what if on a 5e and had a custom box with different ratios?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Not really, you would accelerate faster, but only if you can get the extra 120 horses nailed to the floor Hence the reason why rally cars are restricted to 300bhp, but they put out crazy torque.A different box is kinda hard as it would depend on what the ratios are. Too short and you'll top out too quick, if you got 280bhp, it doesn't take long to reach 130mph. I believe it would be beneficial in raising the rev limit rather than changing ratios, as long as the engine is still able to produce power beyond the original limiter, especislly against something which can change gear quicker than you can blink Edited December 11, 2012 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah the more power would help.initialy but still limited by the boxyeah another 1k rpm.would be nice as im used to revving to 9k haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 One other thing a starlet suffers fron and thats the lack of aerodynamics/down force!Thats the other thing the GTR would of had over the starlet with it been a more moden car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Yeah higher speed it helps alot more :-/ may build a cone.for the front of glanza to help with this hahatherea a table somewhere showing.the areodynamic efficiancy of carsmy mates westfield is on par with the areodynamics of a house brick hahahe out weighs this by a 250 bhp.rx8.engine and 500 kg haha Edited December 11, 2012 by Jack-CTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That again depends what the car is used for. If you want it good for a top speed run you will want the friction coefficient to be as low as possible. If your building a time attack/circuit car you will want it to be as high as possible, as it helps in slowing the vehicle down for corners.The average modern vehicle has a friction coefficient of around 0.35, an F1 car has the CF at around 1.2. Massive difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
