and why did you choose something other than the SI? Straight up garbage motors in the others. My motor is completely stock besides an intake and it puts me at 11.62lbs per HP. Lets keep it going, you entertain me lol
So you're comparing a top level motor (SI) to a base level v6? You want to compare the SI to say the Camaro SS that has 426hp? Apples to Apples right? lol. I'll let you do the math.

Who is entertaining who again?

Sure lets keep it going...


By your math: 22lbs * 140hp = 3080 lbs. I think your math is off.

Lets think about this:

Power to Weight

That means, power / Weight



Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dont argue math with an engineer.

I agree with the metro, to an extent. I'd buy one to convert to electric, just because of its small size.

i don't want to get into this arguement but i agree with you bitemark, sorry there fox but he is making more sense. you can't compare a base model car to a mid or high level model. i.e. your SI to the v6. base model to base model the p2w ratio goes to the 6er's. i'm not defending the 6, i really would never drive one when they make a 8 with more power for a few more dollars. but really bitemark wins this arguement.
