Thought it might be a bit of interest to see who has the fastest cat, the lightest, the highest bhp/tonne etc.

Measure fastest in any way you want.

Also who has the most bhp in their garage?

I certainly don't "win" on any measure but I'll set a benchmark.

e39 M5.

- 400 bhp
- weight 1715
- approx 235 bhp/tonne
- 0 to 60 4.8
- 0 to 100 10.9
- qr mile 13.4s
- total bhp in garage 728 bhp (400 243 + 170/2)

 

3.5 bhp nitro truck
2bhp Lawnmower
90bhp Yaris
and the S
so I guess I'm out

 

When (er, if ever) I get the car in my avatar ...

 

220 bhp/ton (approx)

4.5 sec to 60

1/4 13.3 @ 104mph

Nurburgring 8:22

Moggy, interesting on bhp/ton you have the quicker car, but slower 60, 1/4 mile times. And those are the manual times, SMG II is a touch quicker

 

Yes, thing is once the M5 gets going the extra horses just keep the car pulling.

I guess it's getting over the initial inertia that's the issue.
