how much does an omega 3.2 weigh? and i'm thinking 211 bhp?

1656kg according to parkers for an mv6 as it happens, so say add another 100kg for an elite with lpg and a tow bar

Power at Flywheel (BHP) :     211
Weight without Driver (KG) :     1756
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :     122.09
0 - 60 (Secs) :     8.53
0 - 100 (Secs) :     23.47
60 - 100 (Secs) :     14.94
Quarter Mile (Secs) :     16.92
Terminal Speed (MPH) :     84.90
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) :     16.72
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) :     86.30

hmm, makes the omega look a bit gay really

2004 Honda Fireblade CBR1000rr

Power at Flywheel (BHP) :       174
Weight without Driver (KG) :       179
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :       987.67
Invalid Entry :       Weight must be between 600 and 2000 KG

hehe, doesnt like the low weight of the bike but the bhp/ton figure looks about right to me.

Kevs Westy with the Lotus bhp figure added, but no added weight for the bigger lump, dont know how much to add...?

 power figures given are manufacturers quoted apart from omega which is taken from recent dyno results from other members, so not totaly accurate relatvely but makes little odds given the huge differance in performance

Hmm.

I reckon you could add at least another 100kg with the hypothetical LO engine (I say hypothetical because I doubt it'd physically fit!).

In reality I think a more sensible turbo conversion would be a cossie, or even a blown Zetec. Did once see a nice Hayabusa Turbo conversion. 8-)

I think the predictions for acceleration for the lighter cars are a bit optimistic. When the weather gets better I must take the Westie out with the AP22 data logger and see what it's actually achieving.

I think when power-to-weight ratio gets high the limiting factors are more down to gearing and traction. I'd be happy to get 0-60 under 5s without sacrificing grip in the wet and putting sticky tyres on it, splurging on a close ratio gearbox, etc. etc..

I reckon it got it about right for the Omega and LC, though.

The other issue is aerodynamic drag. Does it allow you to input that? Cd for an Omega is 0.31 IIRC. For a Westfield it's appalling. About 0.70. That will have more impact at higher speeds, so 1/4 mile time and terminal speed.

its all theoretical, it only asks for power output at the flywheel and weight in kg and if front or rear or 4 wheel drive.

but surely you want a bike for this game?

What, and fall over every time I have to stop due to insufficient wheels?
