Default APR stage 3 -- what adjustments should be made to figure out....(edited)

power-to-weight ratios for 225 roadsters.
in comparison to the coupe.

Is there a known percentage or ratio that applies to stock which could apply here as well?

I know AxeYrcat's roadster is having the kit installed and we'll see numbers soon but I'd like to have a rough guesstimate to find out how the weight difference impacts #'s

Default Why would horsepower and torque be any different?

How does weight affect the power output? I can see that extra weight might hamper performance, but reducing power I don't understand.

Default I was under the impression that HP was measured against the load on the engine...

hence if the roadsters weighs more then the output would be less than if it weighed less.

I guess what meant to ask was what is the power-to-weight ratio?

Just want to know how much slower are the roadsters going to be due to the extra weight essentially.

I would think the numbers would be minimum at best

Default BUT - it all depends on the paint! Metallic paint will be MUCH heavier and slow the car tremendously
