(hp/#) = power
Raptor 700........ "40 at the wheels"/396 lbs = .101 hp/per pound
Outlaw 525....... "42hp at the wheels"/395 lbs = .106 hp/per pound
BRP 800............. "44hp at the wheels"/639 lbs = .688 hp/per pound

With all the CV joints in my quad I loose almost 20hp then, that would put me at about -2hp if I am correct... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

i know many people that built racecars,dune buggys and sports bike and they know the formal.let me expain it to you simplely like 1hp / by 10 pounds you get .1 thats a perfect 1 to 1 power to weight ratio.if you understand this well you will know that you have .1hp pushing 1 pound.even with the same gearing the car with a power ratio thats closier to .1 wil always win because their is less effort needed to move the weight.their is no power gain by running lightier only less load on the engine letting you gear highier andor get lower times on the drag strip so in simple words lossing 10lbs will be the same as gaining 1hp.
