ok so i got this from a local board. it was pretty interesting to see what everyones index was since we all had different cars..

but since just about everyone in here has a hype R, i just figured we would tweak the it a bit and use how much we paid for our car instead of the msrp when it was new.

and maybe some of you with mods can post up your index #s with the money you invested and everything.

but before we begin, we need to agree on a base HP and weight for the R.

the HP im sure we can all agree on, but ive seen different weight #s.

 

Nice im about to start calculating. even tho i bought mine used.

 

interesting choices on the chart.

someone should do a write up on the mazdaspeed3 and their driving impressions.

 

nifty.

Guess I'm glad again I have an EVO for DD

 

i used 195 HP 2500# for weight and a $22K price tag when i did it.. it was like 3545 or something..

then i did it for the price i bought it at and came out to be 11XXX. a nice jump

 

192 WHP
2450 LBS
$16500 (price of salvaged car, plus parts installed)

I came up with $474.95

Correction.... $4749.53

 

ouch. mine sucks .

mine's like 1962

 

2991, converting to dollars, including all the money invested in it aswell as buying

 

ok so mine was 11,641

 

5935 -based on estimated bhp.

 

thinking about it, i was unusually harsh on myself converting from £'s to $'s, then it doubles the cost and make it uncomparable to you guys. stoooopido

your neighbors talk to you?

who is that?

 

well they added a "normal" cars for comparison...

like the mustang, lancer, mazdaspeed, srt8

 

05 TL 6spd
270hp
weighs 3,400 lbs.
paid $24,000

Puts me at <FONT COLOR="orange">3309</FONT> right between a new mustang and Evo RS. Yeah for used cars...

94 Civic + B18C-R + suspension & rims
197hp
weighs 2200lbs
paid ~$12,000

Puts me at <FONT COLOR="green">7462</FONT> way ahead of the new car competition. Yeah for home-made sports cars...

89 CRX Si
105hp
weighs 2138
paid $2,600

Puts me at <FONT COLOR="blue">18889</FONT>...

 

94 hatch
5000 total cost
202 hp
2100 lb's

puts me at
195xx.......

we'll see how she does on track

 

When I bought my old R from Len:

8666.66

When it was turbo charged:

18666.67 @ 34psi
13333.33 @ 15psi

When built N/A:

7333.33

Simply looking at that chart, once again the R owns all The Bugati looks like a HUGE let down. Guess I'll spend my millions on something else...

</TD></TR></TABLE>

The Bugati is simply a ***** mobile. There is nothing "special" about it. Now the Caparo T1-R is special...




480hp (@ 10,500rpm)
1036lbs
<u>$260,000</U>
Gives us <FONT COLOR="green">1782</FONT> which bests the the Porche 911 Turbo...

Of course this silly equation fails to take into account this car will pull up to 3-g's in all directions (and be street legal in the US)...
