My HSV is a heavyweight

[V8HSV]

And I'm not talking BHP, was weighed yesterday at 1975 Kg!

WOW thats about 325 kilos of stereo, battery, and supercharger........ or about five people extra sitting in the car!

But you still have over 300bhp per tonne.........

I have always wondered when my Holden became too old and knackered like me, how much weight could be lost if you strip everything out and just put in roll bar and rally seat. Results could provide interesting power to weight ratio. So how much does the new Monaro weigh

[uk hsv]

The Monaro is 1658 kilos (1.658t) 328bhp/1.658t = 197 bhp per ton

GTS is 1650 kilos (1.65t) 344bhp/1.65t = 208 bhp per ton

[V8HSV]

The race weight is about 1450 Kg

These are dry weights though?

You'll have to go for the carbon bonnet then..

Nah, was not in the car....

Truck & marine battery might account for a fair bit
