Having a power to weight ratio between 10HP to 1 pound to 12HP to 1 pound is reasonable for the street and track.
1590kg and under: 300hp+, 1690+kg: 450hp+
power to weight ratio.
300-400 depening on weight
300hp
As long as it has DOHC(OHV is acceptable for V8s or engines with more cylinders), at least 4 cylinders. Minimum for Cylinder count: 4-180hp 6-240hp 8-300hp 10-400hp 12 or more-450hp
500+hp
400-500hp for a daily
2008 STI weighing 1600 kilos with 300 hp is just about right.
Perfect example! 1976 Toyota Celica Shovelnose (2000GT model). About 1200kg with a 250bhp 2.0L Turbocharged 4 pot, 0-100 in less than 7 seconds, that’s quick
