DD Nissan 350Z is 10.6 lbs/hp. Sad days compared to the rest of the list. Thankfully, it's still faster than many peeps out there, especially considering all the mouth breathers. How do they ever get driver's licenses. Ha, ha, ha.
Since math is fun, I decided to run some calcs for my 72 blazer complete with 307. I got conflicting info on the amount of hp these stroked 283s made. Depending on whether the 307 made 200hp, 130hp, or 115hp, that puts the weight to power (using 3677 lbs) at 18.4 lbs/hp, 28.3 lbs/hp, or 32.0 lbs/hp respectively. The days are getting more sad.
But not to be outdone, I calc'd my first car, the glorious 1980 Dodge Aspen with 225 slant six and 1 bbl carb. It weighed 3200 lbs and made a whopping 90 hp. Side note: the engine bay warned that my lil engine did not make enough power to be equipped with AC (min. 100 hp).
Anwyho, this beast of a car calcs at 35.6 lbs/hp. But with a lil weight transfer (pitch it hard in the corners) and wet pavement, I was able to get
the 245 to screech for a bit, thx to the peg leg. Good times. And for those not sure what the Aspen looks like, all I heard from everyone was "Nice Nova!"
OK, sorry about the detour.
