where do i stand on power weight ratio?help

[Reddy]

Hi frnds like to have calculations on power to weight ratios of my R8,

Its R8 v8 ,with 305/30/19 optional tire at rear ,
Adding

PART-A

Supercharger of VF enginneering
+Miltek exhaust without resonater
+ Braille battery weight 18.5lbs (8.5kgs)
+ Stasis Brakediscs supposed to reduce rotating mass of 3 lbs on each wheel
where iam now in comparision of power to weight ratio with R8 V10 & R8 GT ?

The supercharger weight is compensated with Miltek exhaust,

we are left out with following options

PART-B

GT seats costs?
Carbon ceramic brakediscs
Lightweight GT carpets or no carpets?
polycarbonate rear hatch glass and partition
Are the GT front grills (3 of them Reduce weight ? )

Can we calculate seperately for Two parts PART-A & PART-B

To be honest, drop a supercharger in the V8. Add Stasis exhaust. Add Braille Battery.
Add Lightweight Sports Buckets. Goodbye stock V10 and maybe stock GT.

Would be close with a GT but stock V10 gone..

Do the all the same mods to a V10..game over!

On a lighter smaller note, I've noticed that all my 911 Porsche wheels are attatched with Aluminium Lug nuts. I will weigh my steel PPI studs and then start searching for a set of TITANIUM lug bolts. I already have lighter Superleggerra wheels and lighter Hoosier racing slicks. I can really feel the better performance with the pounds shaved from the four corners.

by the time you do that you could get a V10 with ECU and exhaust for almost the same amount of money. the power to weight on that would obliterate the SC V8.

Best power to weight solution of this degree is take weight off the driver

Saved some money out of this 2009 model, 1300miles done for approximate 40% less value than new ,
