figure your best horspower per weight ratio take the weight of your toy divide it by your horspower you get ratio my prostreet firebird weight is 2600 divided by 1000hp equals 2.6 hp per pound pretty darn good see what you come up with see ya

Had a 69 camaro that went 9:90 on a 10 " tire just for the street sure miss that now into boat's

my r6 100hp 350 lbs

3.5 lbs per HP add on a chubby 190lbs rider (me) and it knocks it down significantly. 5.4 lb per HP

yzfR1 390 lbs. 145 hp = 2.7lb/hp
add me (220) = 4.3 lb/hp

Our Unlimited Hydroplane, U-6 O Boy! O Berto/Miss Madison
app. 2.42 pounds per HP @ 2,800 HP and 6,800 pounds (weight is with driver, no fuel)

does anyone else find it kind of creepy that an unlimited hydro has a better HP to weight ratio than some of the fastest street bikes available? damn auqa rocket ships!!!!

can i get a ride???

Formula boats (as in Seebold, etc..)

hull wt: 240#
batt & fuel cell: 30#
rigging & access: 80#
Motor: 375#
Driver (a much lighter driver than I): 175#

total wt: 900# (w/ driver - no fuel)
appx hp: 400

power to weight: 2.25 lb/hp

**********************
I'm surprised at how light the Unlimiteds are... Just think if they hadn't outlawed those 4500hp turbines ....

How about the Callan cat;

12000lbs race weight (w/ driver, throttleman & fuel)/ 2x T55L7C's @ 2800hp = 2.14lb/hp.

The power can be easily turned up to 3400hp each. Now imagine, 12000lbs/6800hp = 1.76lb/hp.

Weight is their friend...

Now that the gauntlet has been thrown:

Our team's motorized skateboard, 7 HP and 11 lbs! 1.57 lbs per HP, and that's at a blistering 22 MPH. Where's T2x when I'm pumped Bring on that Skater chump

Steve:

There's your problem..........There have been numerous studies that show unlimited hydros are considerably faster when running with fuel.....................than without.

Happy New Year....and it's.... MR. ......Chump to you.
