whats faster???

[johnlambert]

westcoast saxo 1.4 8v (vts induction kit)
opel astra 1.4 16v

hoping its my saxo :panic:

[Tontsy]

astra will weigh more, but will have more power output no doubt. get eh weight abd bhp, then work out the bhp/tonne.

or have more balls, i assume there is a race going on.
i will knob anyone i know because i will jump the reds, use the pavement, wrong side of roads, you name it... ill do it, to make sure i get to the end first.
its all about the driver...

who remembers / knows of the Mcrea vs Rosi race?
and Rossi kicked his ass yo!

[dinga]

0-60?
1/4 mile?
top speed?
round a track?

[johnlambert]

eh????

I hate these "im better than my mates" threads but anyway heres your answer the legal way:

Citroën Saxo (96-03) 1.4i West Coast 3d
75bhp
840kg

Conversions:
power = 75 horsepower = 75 horsepower
weight = 840 kilogram = 1851.883002354 pound


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
power to weight ratio (horsepower:pounds) = 0.040499318749978




Vauxhall Astra Hatchback (98-04) 1.4i 16V LS 3d (you wernt to accurate which astra)
88bhp
1112kg

Conversions:
power = 88 horsepower = 88 horsepower
weight = 1112 kilogram = 2451.5403554972 pound


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
power to weight ratio (horsepower:pounds) = 0.035895799064728





So scientifically the saxo will accelerate more, but there are factors that will effect this in the real world, IE howmuch bhp have each car lost due to age? how well can the driver actually driver (perfect gear changes ect) but in theory you have your answer :y:

[NickB]

ACORDING TO PISTONHEADS:
- SAXO
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 75
Weight without Driver (KG) : 840
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 90.72

- ASTRA
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 88
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1112
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 80.41



So again the saxo comes out ontop :)

[JamesR]

Mate just get and induction kit, catback, and a 4-2-1 manifold, and hes yours 100%.

At santa pod of course.

[Sparco_Tom]

saxo will have it but what does it really matter anyways?

[johnlambert]

jus wanted to know thanks!!!

i woulda thought with it bein 88bhp and mine being 75bhp his would be faster.

[umi]

Saxo is faster

[spiderxjz82]

You're also forgetting gear ratios, they can play a big part in how a car accelerates, not just as simple as that!

Here.... You sound like a total wanker.
I personally hope you bin your car into a ditch.
'Cause if you really do do that.. You're gonna hit someone.. Honestly.
It's people like you that shouldn't be on the road.
Yeah it's fun to race off the lights and such but.. You're a Saxo driver (Like me) this isn't The Fast And the Furious, You're not Vin Diesel and driving like a cunt doesn't mean you have "Balls". :boxing:

Fuckin' moron.

I think he was being sarcastic mate

[JamesR]

Also we have saxos, not 600bhp flame spitting, rear wheel drive monsters.

But i am pretty sure he was being sarcastic mate :D

[sarke]

Hhahahahahaha i though it was hildaiours
and dude chillout...

[sarke]

LOOOOOOOL EPIC FAIL!

how can anyone be THAT bad at detecting sarcasm? YOU sound the wanker there tbh mate, sorry :homme:

[JayEmDizzle]

-_-

Sorry... My sarcasm-o-meter is in for repair at the moment!
Sarcasm's a difficult thing to see via text. Also.. I was so uppety 'cause a relative of mine nearly died a few years back 'cause some cunt in an MG ZR was racing some other car. Car was a cube and she's been in and out of hospital for the last five years. :n:
Anyways.. Enough of the sob story... If it was sarcasm. Sorry.
If it wasn't. Yer a knob! :y:

[MiniGibbo]

you say the saxo will be faster but what if the stig is at the wheel of the astra ?
