All RR's Have some wild and wacky ways of calculating your CRANKSHAFT power/most of them bear VERY LITTLE RESEMLANCE TO REALITY!

The ONLY way to do it (unless someone has managed to rewrite the laws of physics recently) is to take the WHEEL HORSE POWER
(remember thats what their rollers acurate or not are measuring) and DEVIDE by .85

Therefore to obtain 209 bhp at the crank you would have to produce at the wheels, 177.7 (devide by .85 = 209) which any scholar of tuning will
tell you belongs in the Beano book of true facts.

Although Both editions of the monthly FORD 'Beano' mags regularly feature cars that 'should be around' or 'must make about' or 'once runin/setup Dave hopes to make 3 gozillion H.P.'

Strange then very few of the articals feature performance figures and STRANGER still when these cars are timed an awful lot of them develop missfire's clutch slip/gearbox problems

'so we weren't able to actually measure
how fast it was................' zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
