What's your lbs/hp ratio?

[Ferzerp]

Topic says it all. I am just curious what people around here have.

 

[MrWizzard]

11:1 and 8:1

Im waiting for exdeath to be like 4:1 heh

 

[WilliamM2]

3.8:1

 

[hans007]

211 hp manufacturer rating ... 3700+ pounds. so a pretty sad 17.7 : 1.

car amazingly isnt slow at all

 

[Bartman39]

HP...17 to 1
TQ...9 to 1 (lbs to ft.lbs.)

Curb weight 6800lbs

 

[Ferzerp]

1:3.8

No, you have to count the whole vehicle, not just the engine

 

[Zenmervolt]

10.78 lbs/hp for the Harley (all weights including rider)
12.48 lbs/hp for the CB450
10.44 lbs/hp for the 951
14.08 lbs/hp for the S70

Figures for the 951 and the Harley are using wheel horsepower based on dyno results.

Ditto. Although the engine is notoriously underrated and the car is plenty quick. The only time I would ever notice the lack of power is when I drove it back to back with my old M3.

 

[BassBomb]

i drive honda, so non existant

 

[96Firebird]

10:1 for both horsepower and torque to the wheels.

 

[phucheneh]

19.something to 1 - Mazda3 sedan. ~150hp ~2900lbs.

Wrote it backwards, because it's usually given as hp to wieght ratio. Not lbs to hp ratio.

 

[Gillbot]

6.4:1 if I use wheel HP, 5.4:1 if you go for flywheel

 

[Throckmorton]

16.3lbs/HP

~3100lb 190hp 1996 BMW 328is

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

16.3lbs/HP

~3100lb 190hp 1996 BMW 328is

Aren't you the guy always dogging foxbody mustangs? My fox is about the same weight yet has 35 more horses stock.

I think you're confusing him with me

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

24:1. Do I win?

2012 Suzuki Swift GLX, if any of you were wondering

 

[BassBomb]

20:1 in actuality

 

[Apex]

My car: 3.7:1
Wife's car: 5.6:1

 

[jlee]

whp or flywheel?

Going by estimated rwhp:
11.3:1 CTS-V
8.8:1 (last dyno for the MR2). Once it's back together, about 7.8:1.

It is hard to say, yes, because stock cars are probably not going to be dynoed, so can only go by rated bhp. Modded cars aren't going to know bhp, and can only go by whp, but then, dynos are all different, so it's just an estimation

 

[Greenman]

5.48 to 1

Edit: It's a V-Rod.

 

[jagec]

About 7:1.

Some of you guys have SERIOUSLY high-powered vehicles.

Do you guys get different engines in your Swifts?
