if you don't know the power and weight, search carfolio in google, and then search for your car, its likely to be there, unless you have a strange car. rules post a pic of the car actual BHP BHP/Tonne I.e. mine is 69.0 bhp 89.03 bhp/ton

270ish BHP (engine) 1100kg So 245 per ton. But that's not RWHP. Able car. Not able driver! Edit: according to www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=30426&Ford the original car has a power to weight ratio of 163/ton. Maybe I'm being over confident. 200/ton. Better breathing, fat exhaust, no cat, bigger injectors, custom chip, major weight reduction (until I get in that is) Original car could do a quarter mile in 14.4. Charlie

Carfolio says: 60 BHP (@5550 RPM) 86.33 BHP/Tonne Engine is 82,000 miles old and has a couple of mild 'go faster' bits so prob putting out about stock power.

Carfolio only shows the 55A 1.1 Yugo...
56.0 bhp
69.83 bhp/ton
I'm guessing that although mine is the 903cc, I've stripped a lot of weight out, so it maybe balanced the BHP/ton figure?

About 115bhp (guestimate off factory figures - probably more though given the tweaks) About 1250Kg (weight fluctuates depending on how much rust I've just dug out & whether it has been replaced yet with fresh steel)
So just 92bhp per ton. However also has a torque curve like Table Mountain ;D
