So, with the SE being around 100KG heavier, does anyone know how detrimental this is to performance?
Were the official Rover performance stats taken from a non SE car to portray the 260 in the best possible light?

Isnt it...
6.2 non SE
6.7 SE
thought the brochures said the same for both? But the extra weight cant help much?
:cool:
plastic windows, carbon fibre bonnet and boot lids, remove interior.... gotta get the weight down to about sub 1400. Scooter mentioned the 500 is about 1500, but that has a Full FIA roll cage which is err 'quite' heavy :)
165bhp/tonne with 260bhp and 1.6 tonnes....
200bhp/tonne with 260bhp and 1.3 tonnes....
250bhp/tonne with 400bhp and 1.6 tonnes....
Supercharger is probably still the most comfortable way of getting more power! haha
given the lardy nature of any ZT I don't think 100kg would make much noticeable difference. I doubt the performance times given by Rover anyway, I've always thought them a little on the generous side.
No of course, but where do those performance figures quoted above come from?
6.2 vs 6.7 is certainly quite a difference, and as such I think I would prefer a non SE if they were accurate.
