Hi, some various comparitive figures I have found after a few hours exploration of my bookshelf:
GT40 Mk1: 12,500 lb-ft/deg (no bodywork fitted)
(Colin Campbell, Design of Sports racing Cars)
Lotus Elan: 5,000 lb-ft/deg
(Colin Campbell, The Sports Car )
Bearing in mind the weight of the car, quite an achievement..
And, from "Driving Ambition, the official inside story of the McLaren F1" by Doug Nye:
Porsche 959: 9,500 lbs-ft/deg
911 Turbo: 10,000 lbs-ft/deg
Lotus Esprit SE Turbo: 4,300 lbs-ft/deg
Mc Laren F1: the production minimum working target was noted as 8,000, with other references to 10,000 lbs-ft/deg.
No final production figure is given.
A comparitive figure could be to divide by stiffness by the vehicle running weight, and the wheel tracks of the vehicle.
Any thoughts from the masses?
