1991 Saab 900 Turbo 16 S - 185bhp, 136kw, 1350kg.
Would be different on torque alright, thats 282nm or 201 lb/ft.
Torque is relevant for acceleration,
bhp = torque x rpm/5252 , so roughly speaking, if you haven't much torque, you can still make plenty of bhp if you rev it enough

Ah jaysus, if we're including other vehicles :

Ducati 916 Bike 83.2 kw (114Bhp), 204 Kgs = 407 kw per metric tonne.

Grob 115e Plane 149 kw (200hp), 990 Kgs = 150 kw per metric tonne.

Yup and if you can rev it more than you can gear it shorter and get a better torque at the wheels using.

Remember its torque at the wheels not at the flywheel that determines acceleration.

I.e car A 150ft/lbs revs to 10,000
car b 250 ft/lbs revs to 4500 - a diesel for instance

Once up and running car A will out accelerate car B - I.e. excluding the off the line torque

Anyway this is a friendly thread and I have already said no torque allow. Sorry - you'll have to bring it up on a new thread

Is cool - there is a modified section now - and bikes also - no planes though!!!

Mhhhmm ...even my *put-put* single cylinder 650 cc chopper with a modest 27 kw and 180 kgs gets 150 kw per tonne (and that right from low revs)

Sounds powerful, is powerful, will climb steep muddy fields and leave the rest behind, alas! does not figure well with stats here:D

'Gaz 66' Russian made truck - my daily ride!

Engine: (ZMZ-66)
8-Cylinder V-engine V8
Petrol with multifuel option: diesel mix upto 40%
Capacity: 4250 ccm

Achievement: 85 KW/115 HP (@3200 rpm.)

Max. torque: 290 Nm @ 2500 rpm.

Weight: variable, but mine is 3,400 kg.

i.e. 25 kw per ton but I'd beat the rest in acceleration test if I can choose the hillside! PM me if you're interested in the challenge and bring your wellies.

Ho-ly ****. That's a serious machine. I think I'm in love!

I wish I had some of the cars here...maybe someday

I already provided my details but I'm getting confused how the formula works, can you provide the formula of getting kw? Lets say on my car:

Weight: 879

Power: 189 bhp

As i'd like to do some figures on my other car, thanks

You'll probably need this for the other car

Knowing what's coming I don't think I'll bother with my own!

see i don't get this. If you're doing 0-60 is it not ALL acceleration? So the car with the better torque will ony outperform it at the very start and in the lower REVs?

i think i might have answered my own question.
