sports cars -- power to weight comparison - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I made this table last year when I didn't have a car yet (or anything better to do).

These are curb weights (all fluids) and crank HP, taken from Wikipedia. Also a couple from this forum.:happy0180:

Interesting. Thanks neighbor.

Ps I calculated +20% for skatery's and full blown's cars using their whp numbers.

At first, I was sad that my S2000 is near the bottom of the list. Then, I was happy because I realized I can't afford hardly any of the other cars.

Good to see the twins beat out the Honda Fit.

A few others on cars I am tracking:

GTI Mk7 with PP 13.59
Focus ST 12.79
Fiesta ST 13.98
Corvette C7 7.03

Maybe the Evasive Motorsports car? Not sure, but that car has similar stats.

Interesting considering BRZ with simple bolt ons (complete exhaust) and tune (say 235 crank hp = 11.7 hp per lb) gets into stock Evo/STI territory.

EDIT - actually Evasive Motorsports might be even lighter.

My FD: 2980 lb. (with 15 gallons of fuel) / (463 rwhp/.85 = 545hp) => 5.47 lb/hp. In with some pretty fast company

. Some of those weights are a bit optimistic, though. F1 and F40 were more like 2750 lb., Enzo was close to 3400.

Here's an update.
I waited for a dyno & weigh-in on my car. It is 5.84lb/hp as it sits.

Also some more from randomness from around the internet.

jack43 · 01-02-2014, 11:05 PM

Also please post your corrections with a link if possible. So far Wikipedia is my main portal for misinformation. ;^)

I guess my 325rwhp Turbo V-rod on Methanol @ 450lbs wasn't such a PIG after all ?

My dad's daily driver is a 2012 Caterham 7 R400 1250lbs and 210HP, goes like a bat out of hell...

Because imaginary cars can weigh whatever you like.

Robispec's Innovate car circa 2013. I know it's changed (even lighter, more track oriented) so it didn't make version 2.
