IND has answered a lot of questions – measured weight with known variables (spare wheel, moon roof, and half tank gas at AMS = 4,510 lbs) and dyno numbers (546 HP and 496 lb-ft est’d crank) which allow the Sim to now synch with BMW’s reported max 177 mph and Nate’s Drag times (with full fuel tank and known DA of +2388). Still don’t know the combined weight of the spare and moon roof, but this’ll be answered soon as onfireX5 has offered to weigh his X3MC (optioned w/o moon roof or spare) with half-tank fuel when it arrives, and with his drag racing experience maybe he’ll also provide formal drag numbers.

If onfireX5’s weight without moon roof and spare comes in ~150 lbs less than IND’s wt, on paper it will run well vs the competition (including the F-Pace SVR), as it would have an est’d Wt/HP ratio of 8.08, almost identical to the SVR.

Thanks again IND.
