What's your lbs/hp ratio?

[Howard]

Crank: 17.0 lbs/HP

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

The 1st-gen CTS-Vs seem to dyno around 340, so I went with that.

If we're doing fwhp, 9.6:1 and estimated 7.6:1.

20:1 for the truck..heh..

9.2 LBs/HP at MGW
6.9 Lbs/HP at pilot + 30 gallons = fun times

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.

agree...

the torque at 258 makes it pretty fast, plus its probably underrated. i think realistically its more like 235.

 

[nismotigerwvu]

7.9:1, 11:1 and 16.75:1

 

[Gillbot]

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

Bragger, you know we all silently request you be barred from posting here. :wub:

16:1

I know it's not fast, but it certainly doesn't feel slow.

 

[Fenixgoon]

car - 13.2:1
bike - 7:1 and it's highly detuned

This thread is just worthless numbers without people posting what their cars are... Oh your car has a lb/hp ratio of 8:1? Congrats to you.

Cars are merely a conveyance to me. Visceral fun is on two wheels.

[Elfear]

Maybe you just need to find the right car. :sneaky:

 

[Mutilator]

Feeling slow?

No, I just want to know what all these supercars are

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Honestly don't care. Car cost me a song and a dance and the tires smoke and the engine screams when I lay into the throttle. Happy times.

All of 22.44 lb/hp(no driver). If that wasn't sad enough, it's also my autocross car.

Can't hit a cone if you never get to the first one!
