Ok, the car is not particularly exciting, but if I can throw the bike in to the mix how does this sound?

0-60 - 2.5 secs.
0-100 - under 5 secs.

v-max - 186 mph (restricted I think, shift light was on, but no gears left to use )

1 bhp / kg - until I get on it

Yeah, but when you get on it, you add a significant % to the weight... So what's the bhp/ton when you're on it.

Not disputing that, I'm actually just interested to see what bhp/ton bike plus rider is.

I know I'm porky, it's why I do cars. That and the fact that fat people shouldn't wear bike leathers.

EDIT

Now THAT's a bhp/ton figure.

You're not too porky, just a little bit

Actually, I think you'd like bikes, and you'd be pretty quick on one too, it's all about being smooth, as you know.

Yeah, but I'd also die.

Just done the figures. Before I get in a Caterham R300 it's 330bhp/ton, after I get in it, it's 290
