I think you're confused. Power to weight ratio can and will be anything, as you showed in your example. What was being asked/suggested is a formula or statement that says "for every ____ pounds remov

Got it. Isn't reasonable, then, to suspect that dollars spent per horsepower gain might be better allocated to a health club? Food for thought, and probably fodder for an argument;-) /// unsubscribe/

Nope, sorry. :) Right, I wasn't referring to the validity of the thought that power = acceleration (torque makes the world go 'round, y'know :). But saying X lb. = Y bhp is *exactly* the power to wei

The power to weight ratio is expressed as the engine torque to vehicle weight as a base line figure. Yes, the gearbox as a torque multiplier will increase the torque but the ratio is valid per gear a

Yes, but there are exceptions... If, just for sake of argument, you were wanting to race a 2 stroke SAAB with one of those freewheel hub things, then momentum could take you a long, long way! Guy gai

Well the point of the original suggestion was to increase acceleration by reducing weight, and the equivalent increase of total engine power. What I was saying is that HP/weight ratio is rather super
