would be interesting to see what figures are produced.jamies missus now has the use of the s2 so be worth u trying to sort something out i reckon mate.
cos alot of people never believed the figures stated by that s2.
ive just checked my quarter mile printout and i got terminal speed wrong ,my apologies. 14.4 quarter mile,terminal was 94mph, not 99mph.
I'm not in this to fall out with anybody. But I have my beliefs based on my experiences. Nicks old S2 has gone through alot of changes since its 257bhp run, but I do remember them doing alot of work to it, including fitting a fancy custom-spec turbo and it made very little extra power on top of that, so that makes it even more likely that the original claim of 257bhp was an iffy run.
If yours did 94mph terminal, then that puts it where I would have more imagined it to be power-wise, based on the spec. I would put that car at 175bhp.
Why not put me to the test?
Oranoco, I don't want to pull holes in your graphs really. I have nothing personal against you, you should know that already, I've known you for years! LOL. I just have my beliefs about what power these cars can do and have seen many things in terms of dyno methods etc.
