Wanna see what people are working with and how they feel about it!

Break out the calculator and tell us:

lb/hp ratio of your daily and do you think it’s enough?

*Keep it simple people, use crank hp and use the unladen weight for your vehicle.

I’ll start:

189 hp in the 325i, 3000 lbs, lbs/hp = 15.9

I think it’s ok, but would prefer to be closer to 10-11 range based on other cars I’ve owned.

200hp Audi a4, 3400lbs, lbs/hp = 17

3

325i - 15.9 (stole his^ numbers :lol)
240sx - between 9-9.5, not sure on exact numbers.

4

1993 prelude si
158 hp, 2840 lbs = 17.97 lbs/hp

5

2006 gms sierra 2500HD (ppe tuner on 225hp-crank)

7700lbs/585hp = 13.1

torque is a whole different story!!!

7700lbs/985lb-ft = 7.8!!!
