Well, my track mini is putting out 83.4 BHP, but I haven't put it on the scales yet but I would have thought that it can't weigh more than a stock mk1 mini, so for now i'll go for 600kgs giving me 139 bhp/ton. Hmm, should be fun ;D

Mk3 Cortina weights about a ton, has about 100 BHP. Both figures wild guesses. 100/ton
now depends on whether you are toalking a metric or imperial ton really bu the Olds comes out about 170 BHP/ton using imperial.
Buick comes out at 150 BHP/ton but feels a fair bit faster & more responsive when you drive it.

Nice thread - best way to find out the weight of your car is to pay £5 (ish) to a public weighbridge operator and get a print out
Vehicle weights from the manufactures are based on various stds that have changed over the years - JM2pW

Fiat Panda+Honda Civic Engine = 134bhp 500kgs 268bhp per ton!Where are you getting 500kgs from though? The lightest Panda variant (the earliest ones) have been 650kgs book figure and there's nothing in there to strip out really.  More likely is: 134bhp 650kgs 206bhp per ton |

More likely is: 134bhp 650kgs 206bhp per tonThere's a hell of a lot to bin weight-wise! Windows and door mechs will see you shed loads, you forget its not a road car and as such will have nothing and lots of holes cut everywhere!  Still a 206bhp per ton Panda would still be respectable!  |

I'm not 100% sure on the weight or bhp figures, but my Astra is about 850kg and has about 60 bhp (prob less!) Equals a whopping 69BHP/Tonne
