This seems interesting.

I got really bored today so I did some calculation to pass the time. I wanted to see the power to weight ratio of several cars, especially the 2005 Scion TC. Here is what I got.

1. Honda Civic EX Coupe
1.7L vtec
75mm bore x 94.4mm stroke
127 HP 114 lb.-ft.
2597 LBS
Power to weight ratio of 20.5 lbs to 1 hp

2. Honda Civic Si
2.0L vtec
86mm bore x 86mm stroke
160 HP 132 lb.-ft.
2782 LBS
Power to weight ratio of 17.3 lbs to 1 hp

3. Toyota Celica GT
1.8l vvt-i
79mm bore x 91.5mm stroke
140 HP 125 lb.-ft.
2425 LBS
Power to weight ratio of 17.3 lbs to 1 hp

4. Toyota Celica GTS
1.8l vvtl-i
82mm bore x 85.4mm stroke
180 HP 130 lb.-ft.
2500 LBS
Power to weight ratio of 13.9 lbs to 1 hp

5. Scion TC
2.4l vvt-i
88.5mm bore x 96mm stroke
160 HP 163 lb.-ft.
2905 LBS
Power to weight ratio of 18.2 lbs to 1 hp

The Scion TC has to pull more weight than the all of the cars (except the Civic EX) but it has the most torque at 163 lb.-ft.

Toyota Corolla S
1.8L VVT-i
130HP 125 ft-lbs
2524 lbs
Power to weight ratio - 1hp to 19.42lbs

Re: This seems interesting.

The power to weight ratio is 17.4 lbs to 1 hp

good info though

can someone do it with a corolla+s/c

if you add 20 lbs for the s/c, weight = about 2545

with hp ratings at 166 and torque at 145
15.3lbs per hp and17.6lbs per torque

and the average of the lbs per torque and hp =16.4....... which puts it at the top of that list up above....kick ass
