'with a bog standard Lotus Elise you pay £191 per bhp, a 2.7 Boxster £145, and the TVR Tamora...... a faintly ridiculous £104' Grunt comes cheap these days - EVO June 2002.

£104 per bhp bloody fantasic !!

[kerniki]

Civic type R - £80.80!

[d_drinks]

umm...... Honda Civic (slab sided shopping trolly) or TVR Tamora...... speed six howl, rear wheel drive.... think i'll spend the extra £23.20

[nubbin]

Is a Civic TypeR £28000, then? That seems a lot of money....£36500-(350 x £23.20) = £28380. Surely not?

[d_drinks]

Civic Type R book price is £15,995 with 197bhp
Though how the Type R and Tamora can be compared??? !!

£104 per pony seems bloody good value to me, can't even get a Shetland pony for that let alone 350 of the buggers !!

Nubbin will your 350 chargers be at Duxford??

GMC Crew Cab 28kUSD, 300Hp.

=67 pounds per hp.

and for a slightly sillier measure of your car, try the cylinders per door ratio (automatic win for westfields.)

£15995 - you can get a 300BHP SEAC for that. Not to mention a 390SE FHC in Sprint this month for less than 3K. When it comes to bangs for your buck the good old Wedge takes some beating - not that I'm biased...

[Paul V]

My mini cost £120 and has around 40BHP so that £3 per BHP.

[douglasr]

I paid £25279 for an S2000 with 237 bhp - not bad at £106.66.

At list price it would be £110.88.

[JSG]

Mine was only £50

[Bonce]

I wonder how the numbers work out if you do £ per bhp/tonne?

[tvradict]

£10.50!

Can't be bad!!!
