Lets say a car weighs 2094 stock, and another weights 2520 stock. How much hp does the 2520 have to have over to beat the other ??? I know its a weird question but gimme a estimate.

2094 stock, and another weights 2520

assuming similar power bands, gearing and such…as if you took the light car and added 3 ppl to it and no other changes, you’d need approximately 20.3% more hp.

for a 300hp car, thats about 61 hp more to run the same
