BHP per ton?

[JAR897]

Hey,

I'm trying to work out the BHP per ton of the mk7 Fiesta...

However, I don't know how many ton's it weighs lol.

Its suposed to be 40KG lighter than the previous model, but I don't know how much that one weighs either! lol.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

p.s. I know some will be slightly heavier than others with alloys, leather etc but it won't make that much of a difference, will it?

How did you get the 1.6 Petrol's 0 - 60 speed of 8.6 seconds?

All the stats say 9.9, and the lowest ive seen (until now) is 9.6??

it was probably driven properly with no weight in it. :D

The above figures DON'T include factors like fuel, the driver, any passegers you may have, wind, rain, road suface or anything like that. It also assumes 100% perfect gear changes

I'd better not try to do my 0-60 times with the OH in the car otherwise it'll be up to about 13 secs!!!!! B)
