Alfista friends, I come to ask for professional advice, so I can choose a modern Alfa for a new category in my country.
To start I must be honest I've never had a modern Alfa.
There is a new category supported by the FIA, for stock cars.
Stock means: Only add air filter, exhaust, suspension, brakes, and tires Yokohama Advan Neova for everyone. and (no chip).
All cars will be disarmed of their engines to check who are normal and then mark each piece by technicians.
Challengers: type R, nissan SE-R, BMW etc.
The technical regulation:
a) cars that have no more than "200 horsepower. "
b) capacity cylinder capacity: 2.500 cc. (max)
c) This is what makes it interesting:
Formula final weight (including the driver, and fluids)
(HP + TORQUE) / 2 X 14
example: for Alfa 156-2.5
189(hp)+161(ft-lb)= 350 divided by 2=175 X 14 =2.450 pounds of weight.
If you look, the final weight depends on the horsepower of the original car.
A list of calculation for the differences with other cars and weight:
MODEL---------HP----FT-LB-----Original weight--WEIGHT CATEGORY--Difference
Alfa156 2.0----150---133-------2,756 lbs--------1,981 lbs-------------775 lbs of removing
Alfa156 2.5----189---161-------3,097------------2,450-----------------647
Alfa155 2.5----163---159-------3,020------------2,254-----------------766
Hond 1.6TypR--182---118------2,293-------------2,100-----------------193
Hond 2.0 typR--197--145------2,700-------------2,394-----------------406
Nissan SE-R----140---132-----2,450-------------1,904------------------506
if the weigh is the first enemy?.
more power = more weight....
Simple: "What Alfa is the best for this?."
please help
