What's the power to weight ratio on the Inline Four
What's the power to weight ratio of the Inline Four model? I would figure it would be pretty nice since the car is lighter than alot of the cars on the market. Does anyone know?

Re: What's the power to weight ratio on the Inline Four
ok 19 is it then. So what does that mean in comparison two some other cars in it's class?
(oh and to Tibby01, I picked 2700 because it depends what options you have on the car, Manual or Auto etc etc since the curb weight is from 2600-2900) (Base to GT)

The 1st number is from Manufacturer claimed power rating at the flywheel, the 2nd number is the one that really matters, dyno tested at the wheels.
03 Civic Si ------------ 16.8 --- 19.5 VW GTI 1.8T ---------- 16.1 --- 16.9 Tiburon V6 ------------ 17.6 --- 20.2 SER SpecV ------------ 15.4 --- 18.4 Mini Cooper S --------- 16.8 --- 17.1 SVT Focus ------------ 16.4 --- 18.6 Mazdaspeed Protege --- 16.4 --- 18.6 SRT4 ------------------ 13.0 --- 13.0 And a couple others not really in the same price range. EVO 8 ------------------- 11.8 --- 13.7 STI --------------------- 10.6 --- 12.4 WRX -------------------- 13.6 --- 16.4 RSX-S ------------------ 14.0 --- 16.1 350Z ------------------- 11.1 --- 13.3

Well, assuming you guys are right with 2700 pounds...
19.3 flywheel --- 22.1 wheels It's not really in the same class as the cars I listed above though, more along the lines of a Civic EX or Focus ZX3 etc.

you guys are funny...
he said power to weight, not weight to power. on autotrader, it says the car weighs 2940lbs....so....140/2940= .047619 if you ment weight to power, then it is 2940/140= 21
