If you take the average RWHP loss among these cars, and apply it to the formula for Power to Ratio:
{P-to-W} = P/W

Provided by nissanusa.com
Manual Transmission Curb Weight: 3232
Manual Transmission Touring Curb Weight: 3278
Automatic Transmission Curb Weight: 3269
Automatic Transmission Touring Curb Weight: 3314

Now that we have the weight. We take the average RWHP and apply that. -17.16% = 275 RWHP. Let's use the Manual Transmission Curb Weight of 3232. So it comes out to a surprising 0.0850866 HP per pound. It's no Atom, but from other statistics I've done. Having .085 HP/LB is really great. Note that, this is RWHP not Crank. Crank would result to 0.10272277 HP/LB.
