Don't mean to sound rude but that's a little to simple of an answer because of the variety of powerplants in the list as well as some incomplete data. A better representation might be to look at the four major powerplants even though they all have different power outputs within their groups. For Example:
VW powered KR's average 69 hp, weigh 633 lbs have a Vmax of 148 mph and Vstall of 51 mph The Continentals average 95 hp, weigh 689 lbs have a Vmax of 174 mph and Vstall of 56 mph The Corvairs average 112 hp, weigh 749 lbs have a Vmax of 162 mph and Vstall of 56 mph The Jabiru (only looked at Barry's as Rich's did not have a weight listed) has 85 hp, weight 556 lbs and has a Vmax of 150mph and Vstall of 49 mph So depending on what engine you choose to use you now have a yardstick to measure you efforts against or to base your expectations. And to answer Dan's original question - nobody is matching the published KR numbers. Remember these are averages and the data is "as reported" with no effort to verify the numbers. F.Y.I. - copy and paste the data off of Mark's website and paste into Excel - you can then sort and run any scenario you want.
