2009 Subaru WRX STI 305 HP Torque 290 Ft/lbs 2.5 liter Turbo Flat 4 1530 KG
2004 Volksagen Jetta TDI 100 HP Torque 177 ft/lbs 1.9 Liter Turbo I4 1428 KG

 

[CrzRsn]

2014 Mustang GT: 420bhp (308kW) at 5.0 litres and 1750kg makes it:
61.6kW/l and 176kW/t V8 N/A

1989 Jeep Cherokee: 177bhp (131kW) (lol yeah right) at 4.0 litres and 1460kg makes it:
32.75kW/l and 89kW/t I6 N/A

We've got some discrepancies on the power unti conversion and weight.

I'll add my Volkswagen of many cylinders to the list

I'll play:

2015 Mazda 3 sGT ? I4 ? 137.26kW ? 2.5l N/A petrol ? 1,368.94kg

I just googled... So not surprised if I'm off a bit. I thought the 13-14 was closer to 3800-3900, could be wrong.

2005 350Z 300hp, 260ft/lb tq 3360lbs NA 3.5l V6
1998 Legacy Outback, 165hp, 162ft/lb tq 3155lbs NA 2.5l boxer 4
Will leave the maths to you.

P.S. Funny how my 4 door "estate" weighs 200lbs less than my 2 door sports car

I added another column for a bit more e-penis contestery. N?rburgring lap time (as done by you, not someone else in an identical car that you've found on youtube).

Let's see if I do this right.

2001 Grand Prix GTP, 3.8L V6 Supercharged, 240HP (178.97kW), 3560lbs (1614.79kg) is 47.1kW/L and 110.83kW/t.
1969 Mustang Coupe, 5.0L V8, 220HP (164.05kW), 2690lbs (1220.16kg) is 32.81kW/L and 134.45kW/t.

And for fun, if we factor in sticker prices, the Grand Prix was $25,630 yielding $106.79/hp. The Mustang sticker price was $2618 yielding $11.90/hp. Hooray inflation.

*Back in 1998, God only knows how many horses are left now.
**Dry weight according to Wikipedia is 183kg, so I rounded up to 200kg for curb weight. For reference my 2010 Hornet had a curb weight of 205kg.

Spreadsheet for my vehicles.

Need engine displacement and configuration too, please.

Done.

 

[Donington]

This might be all wrong but...

2005 Honda Civic Type-R: 197hp/147 kw, 145 lb-ft from an I4 2.0 N/A at 1204kg

I won't attempt the maths.

 

[IceBone]

Have I missed anyone so far?

 

[DaHitch]

So far I'm topping out in power to weight and top 3 with power/displacement. That makes me happy.

Cue haters crying foul because they're motorcycles ^^

 

[IceBone]

And I need to go through all the numbers again because I was using the wrong conversion between hp and kw. It's 1.34, not 1.36.

Done.

 

[NotLaw]

Merica! F*ck Yea! The K5 is holding out at the bottom of the HP/L mark, go GM and your shitty anemic 5 liter v8 :lol:

It's even funnier to me since I doubt the K5 is making even half of that rated power anymore.


I did notice that you have the Saab down as a NA engine, when it is certainly a (tiny) turbo.

I'm also wondering if it might be better to use the (admittedly estimated) power numbers at the engine rather than my -20% numbers at the wheel for the Fairlane, since I think most manufacturer numbers (be they net or brake horsepower) are measured at the crank... If we did that, the 320 crank horsepower would be 238.6 kW
Doesn't really matter to me though, I know the numbers for the fairlane are probably wrong anyways at this point, and even if they weren't, they don't really represent the car fully due to it's crazy long gearing. Its quick (and fun), but not fast.

Wait a moment, 1850kg is the euro number that includes the driver and half a tank of petrol, according to this the dry weight is 1725kg.

2003 - Audi A6 - 4.2 Liter - V8 N/A - 300hp (220kW) - 1725kg -------> 52.4 kW/Liter - 127.5 kW/1000kg
