Recommended Posts

Anyone knows the formula to use when calculating FC based on the weight and CC of a particular model? I would like to compare the FC of conti and Korea cars's weight as both of them are on the high side. This should be more fair and accurate to calculate the FC...any ideas?

a simple gauge - a heavy weight matched with a puny cc = lim a lot....but big cc doesn't equates to high fc....more than meet the eyes.

 

some korean cars are weighing at 1.3tonnes using 1.6L engine vs 2.0L conti car of similiar weight.....

I am sure you know that FC is not only depending on the Weight of the car and CC, there are other things like engine (turbo, NA) and its cam / valve technology, type and technology of the gear system, type of drive (AWD or RWD or FWD) and so on...If you can relate all these variables, you would be already in R&D of a leading automobile.
