Every Windows PC has one of these built in.
Start, Run (or windows key and R) then type "calc"
Enter bhp then press "/" (divide) enter weight in metric tons so for you thats 0.496 then press enter.
166/0.496 = 335bhp/ton (rounded up 1).
No website required

Mac's have them too!
In fact... I had a watch in the 80's that had a similar facility (you never see them now!?).

It calculates the power to weight in tons not metric tonnes

but how does it work out the 0-60 and all the other times surly that all depends on the gearing and wind resistence and properbly many other factors
