Listers,
After all this talk of me and Nigel challenging the Ro-Spit, my curiousity was
piqued. I did a few calculations:
Laura's Nigel:
1700 pounds with 120 (130?) HP equals 13.1 lb/HP (using 130 HP)
My V8TR6:
2500 pounds with 320 HP equals 7.8 lbs/HP
Ro-Spit:
1600 pounds with 225 HP equals 7.1 lbs/HP. I think these are the correct
numbers.
Does anything else need to be said? Not that there isn't plenty more to say,
but this should be sufficient. I don't know about Laura, but I'll concede (and
I thought 7.8 lb/Hp was exciting!).!
