Right, im either gonna get a simple, easy answer or im going to look a complete twat but..

Corsa B
170bhp
About 1 ton in weight.

Is it posibble to work out how much the car would have to weigh for it to be 200bhp/ton.

Just out of curiosity because it's baffling me!

deleted because I didn't read the question!

850kg

170/200 = 0.85 *1000kg = 850kg

Very good chaps, much appreciated.

That's a lot of weight to lose in a Corsa.

Certainly is. Could probably be done with a lot of work and expenditure though Jakey.

1) Throw EVERYTHING away.

2) Tillet kart seat.

3) Perspex windows.

4) Aluminium/GRP/Kevlar/Carbon instead of steel everywhere you can on the body.

5) Magnesium wheels.

6) Titanium exhaust

7) Helium in the tyres.

8) The thinnest paint job possible.

9) Crash diet.

10) Tiny battery.

11) Jerry can or similar instead of full sized fuel tank.

12) Shave head and evacuate all unnecesary bodily fluids and matter.

13) Drive in pants only and bare foot.
