Total (wet) weight so far

421.71

Projected (wet) weight

424.46 (+/- 5%)

SVA'd weight

431.20Kg

Error from table (421.71)

+2.20%

  I think if the car was a n/a one, I could have got the weight down to 407Kg without too much bother...

Budgeted weight

400.00

Balance

+24.46

Allowable wet weight to maintain 500bhp/tonne @ 220bhp (Holeshot quoted) engine output

437.61 (-13.15)

P2W with the SVA weight and Holeshot power number

510.20bhp/Tonne

As with all things, there will be errors, hence the +/-5% uncertainty

(This really should be thought of as +5% -1% but that's a bit too obsessive - even for me).
