things you cannot factor into 2 input boxes if you know the correct info like i do about my own car.

gear ratios. grip, wheel size, tyre size, co-efficient drag, is the surface flat, weather conditions, condition of surface etc, air temperature.

infact, putting a bhp and a weight into a box is only accurate for working out what power your car has per tonne. nothing else.

edit, driver skill, rpm limit, rpm gear change, lim slip etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

see what im saying?

there not like normal headrests its just a random lump of pointless behind the seat.

I wouldnt mind making mine a bit quicker, usually the cheapest way to do that to a car is by making it lighter but i had a look and struggled to find anything on there i didnt need or could remove easily

Forgot the exhausts were fair heavy, might try swapping the pre-cat thingy.

Mines 237bhp, 930 kgs which is 258.93bhp per ton. The times its giving me are ridiculous

do i win a prize for having the lowest averages over my cars?? , although tbh i do think the P to W ratio of the mgf will be a bit better than that as since its an mg a lot of bits will have fallen off therefor making it much much lighter
