Just been told about this interesting site for those wanting to get an idea of where your car sits compared to others.
this is where mine currently sits...
Nissan 300ZX - (180)
Mitsubishi Evo VIII - (199)
Audi RS2 - (201)
Subaru Impreza WRX STi - (207)
Vauxhall VX220 Turbo - (215)
Lotus Elise R - (223)

This is what comes up if I were to gain 30hp at the flywheel and get my car weight down to 900kg...need to re-weigh me-thinks!
Jaguar XKR R - (234)
Maserati 3200GT - (237)
Lotus Exige (S1) - (247)
Mercedes CLS55 AMG - (252)
Aston Martin DB9 Volante - (260)

Strange. The calculator doesn't work for me.
Have you seen this http://www.lightweightmiata.com/beast/lightness/ ... it has a list of rough weights (in pounds) of parts removed from the car.
Not many things on there that I'd want to do to a daily driver, maybe remove the A/C because it seems to do little but get in the way of maintenance tasks on my car.

Isn't BHP at the wheels horsepower, rather than the flywheel.
If I use the calculator using my at the wheel rating, I get the same list as you WOT.
If I do the flywheel rating (as it says on the site), well, it's a slightly different matter, and I guess about right, as I have dusted an ML65 and an M5 in a straight line easily (well, wheels still still smoking it up)
BMW M5 (E60) - (278)
Ferrari 550 Maranello - (287)
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG - (295)
Porsche 911 GT3 RS - (997) (302)
Porsche 959 - (315)
TVR T350C - (318)

The Calculator asks for flywheel HP so that's what I have put in the box...I suppose wheel hp would be better as some cars lose more than others through the drive-line!
And most car manufacturers rate it at the flywheel as it is higher than the hub and better for marketing purposes.
