Thanks for the numbers. Interesting. I don't have a lot of knowledge of dynapac, but i hear quotes that it is lower than dynojet. Dynojet numbers probably wouldn't put you over 120ft-lbs, but might it be close?
That's is exactly what i would like to know. Andy, can you help us?
I can guess, based on those A3 Golf numbers, though...
If we are really using a 16lbs/hp mulitplier (like the Golf), let's say we add a pound or 2 for mid-engine and aero, and torque (though torque is same A3 Golf). That puts the fiero at 2200lbs for ~18lbs/hp. That would be a little low for torque, though : 14.3lbs/ft-lb. So, maybe around 2300lbs? 2300lbs puts the Fiero at 18.75lbs/hp and 15lbs/ft-lb, as compared to the A3 Golf at 16.8lbs/hp and 15.4lbs/ft-lb.
The car is light, so i believe it could probably get to that weight. Even stock it was 2590-2790lbs.
