1. Launch Performance (M3 vs Ponycar) (score: 1): Author: "Jeff Winchell" <Jeff@Winchell.Com>; Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 21:31:21 -0700; I agree that the ponycars have a higher power/weight ratio which all things being equal should mean quicker times till the first turn in a ProSolo. But apparently all things aren't equal. Some peopl; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00296.html (8,944 bytes)

Re: Launch Performance (M3 vs Ponycar) (score: 1): Author: "Brian Berryhill" <brianberryhill@usa.net>; Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 02:10:24 -0500; I would think that the lighter weight M3 would have a little bit of an advantage on an autox course because of the less weight and slightly more advanced suspension. The weight difference offsets the; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00298.html (8,692 bytes)

RE: Launch Performance (M3 vs Ponycar) (score: 1): Author: Jeff Winchell <jwinchell@Giftspot.com>; Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 11:42:45 -0700; I think I've heard the good ESP M3's have around 260 torque (at it's peak) and around 3100 lbs including driver. I don't know what the ring and pinion gear and 1st or 2nd gear ratios are, but they w; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00307.html (8,276 bytes)

It actually hurts acceleration in a straight line on relatively smooth pavement. Nothing bet; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00319.html (11,275 bytes)

Yes I've heard that before (and promptly forgot it for this discussion<s>). Well then that's a factor in the other direction. Thanks for the correction. Wow! Well that certainly helps. than your; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00321.html (10,969 bytes)

To achieve an _effective_ torque advantage, it uses steeper gears. That's a big difference. The compromise is that you have to make numero; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00339.html (7,869 bytes)

RE: Launch Performance (M3 vs Ponycar) (score: 1): Author: Jeff Winchell <jwinchell@Giftspot.com>; Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 16:20:45 -0700; Well for one, the M3 driver can do like Bob and bring 3 sets of rear end gears to ProSolo/Nationals. The ponycars have other sets of gears to do this too if they wanted, and they have to weigh the t; /html/autox/2000-09/msg00347.html (8,143 bytes)

Weigh the car, measure the torque - that gives you power to weight ratio. Gearing doesn't enter into that equation. Gearing is selected to match the torque curve to the track.
