The weights I gave are car+my.original.weight compared to car+my.current.weight. So, regardless then, it sounds like there isn't a particular formula that estimates a performance gain by shedding weight, whether its the car's spare tire, or mine it sounds like.

For example, from my first result I got: 3060 lb (2760+300), 200 crank hp = 14.5 sec ET 2960 lb (2760+200), 200 crank hp = 14.3 sec ET Obviously these are estimates, but they can give you a feel for how much ET change you might see from a given weight change. |

DadHawk
WTG congrats, and I love the idea of having a motivator/reminder in the car. I like the idea of converting it to a HP figure, and yes at the end of the day what matters is hp vs weight, the easiest HP is weight reduction. |

In case you missed it, you can see in this video the BRZ and 86 are exactly the same speed. It all just comes down to the driver.
