Power-to-Weight Ratios of Yaris, Fit, Mini, etc.

Already posted this in the Fit thread, but thought others might find it interesting. The Yaris might be low hp, but with a bit of tweaking it can be a heck of a fun car regardless.

Golf | 2,857 | 115 | 24.8
Fit | 2,432 | 109 | 22.3
Mini | 2,524 | 115 | 21.9
Yaris LB | 2,293 | 106 | 21.6

The "Yaris Stripped" is with the backseats taken out, race seats and lighter wheels (using the 4 lbs per wheel pound lost calculation for unsprung weight).

The "Yaris SC" is Yaris Stripped w/Supercharger, assuming a conservative 20% power incrase.

Wait, the Yaris lift back and the Yaris sedan can't possibly weigh the exact same amount... the sedan is bigger, and has more doors.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that information is wrong, but that's what Toyota's specs say. One of these days I'm going to go weigh my car.

Is the LB figure for 2 or 4 door?

That makes the power to weight 24.7 lbs/hp for the 2NZ-FE.
