Horse/weight ratio
Just curious as to what people are geting for their horse/weight ratios out of their 2.2's. I have 1hp:9.4 lbs. For comparison, here are some 2005 sport cars. Lotus Elise, 1hp:10.3 lbs. Corvette Z06, 1hp:7.7lbs. Viper SRT-10, 1hp:6.8 lbs. Ferrari 360 Modena, 1hp:7.7 lbs. Porsche 911 GT3, 1hp:8.3 lbs.

Stock 05 Cavalier = 2617lbs. Lighter hood, wheels, tires, no spare tire, restrictive extra engine crap for intake and exhaust, lighter springs.....added weight with N20 and extra piping for exhaust = 2535lbs. 272.4 horsepower. = 1:9.306 All of the sport car #'s were done with their base horsepower, not wheel, so I used that too.

14% of 232 = 32.48 232 + 32 = 264
14% of 270 = 37.8 270 - 38 = 232
