...and...ummm...there's the little problem of Mazda RX-7 2680/185 rwhp (remember...we only deal with the best examples here at IT.com) - 14.5

and then there's:

BMW unrestricted 3000/195 rwhp - 15.4 (hmmm) (same as E46 weight)

or

BMW 29mm restricted with the newly discovered across the board 20hp lost (as conveyed by Bob) 2850/175 rwhp - 16.3

???

Earl, not a BMW guy, and not really weighing in on this, but some rough numbers:

1. Mazda RX7 power to weight: 2680/175 rwhp - 15.3

2. Porsche 944 power to weight: 2535 (is that right)/155 rwhp - 16.3

3. BMW unrestricted: 2850/195 rwhp - 14.6 OR 2850/210 (depending on who you believe) - 13.5

4. BMW "restricted": 2850/180rwhp - 15.8

5. BMW "weighted": 3150/195rwhp - 16.1 OR 3150/210 - 15

6. GSR: 2750/175 - 15.5

7. For laughs, my car; 2560/160 - 16
