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.
how do u work out my old car would have been 175bhp?
IIRC that 257bhp run was reapated 3 times!!
when my car was set up and made the 210bhp it was set up on optimax(not sure if it makes much difference)just thought id mention that.
