   Could one or more of you data "heads" regurgiate the pound per hp ratios
   of some cars.  I would really want to know this info for the Mazda Miata,
   chrome bumper MGB and MGBGT, and rubber bumper MGB and MGBGT.

according to a July '68 article in Road & Track:

        bph:            92 @ 5400
        curb wgt:       2220
        test wgt:       2590
        Lb/hp (test wgt): 27.0  (???)

my old HP-11 gives:
        Lb/hp (test wgt): 28.2
        Lb/hp (curb wgt): 24.1
