The weight and power is all over the place depending on the engine and chassis configuration used steel verses carbon fiber we always have built steel cars. Since I have been involved for the last three years we have built a car that was 569 pounds with 85 rwhp Honda f4i. The next year we built a car in the totally opposite direction with a 450cc signal ktm it was only 23 hp (was suppose to be turboed that didn’t quite work out) it was 328 pounds wet. This year’s car has the so-called unicorn of FSAE engines an Aprilia SXV 550 twin. It weighed 383 wet and makes 50 rwhp. Keep in mind we are limited to engines under 610cc and the must run trough a 20 mm restrictor.
