As the title says, I am building a show car with a target of 40MPG. The the goal of the car is to...
Have a tuner / show car that is modified yet Have a comphy car with decent room, standard features of most all basic cars, perform well and not be a turd. One of the major goals of the car is weight savings. I am going to some pretty goofy lenghts on the weight savings part. Including a SQ focused sound system.
The new chassis chosen for this project is a Scion xD. The yaris while getting stellar gas milage was ruled out as it was simply to weak performance wise & not enough interior room / cargo room. The new xD has a dual vvti 1.8L rated at 128hp. The cars stock dyno comes out to 120whp which means it is underrated when comparing basic powetrane loss. The Yaris only manages around 96whp. With basic bolt on mods the dynos have proven 145whp and 150 is possible while maintaining great MPG which makes it a sporty efficient 4 door. That is specifically why it was chosen.
Now with those strange goals in mind I am searching for the lightest weight 5 channel you guys can find. Help is appriciated! I am searching myself. Post up what you find and actual weight!
