I've seen it reported from a good Aus source that the engines were known to develop 700bhp, but were de-tuned to 680bhp for qualifying spec, and even more so for race spec (especially for bathurst where reliability was a big issue). But then again that must be utter bullshit too....
ER???
I think you owe ME an apology!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and you should do YOUR homework
You said THIS

You really really believe that still? we know roughly what size turbos they were using! 680bhp... 2bar?
Also I never got nasty! so dunno why you needed all that 'wind you neck in SHITE!!!
I said sounds like bullshit! and I still think it is!
So do the experts on here!!!! and people that were involved with them!
So. DO I GET AN APOLOGY FROM YOU?
All Cossie power figures get exagerated... like the cossy that your dads mates dog sisters next door neighbour owned that had 700bhp... on a t34 and greens!
to genuine racecars....
As Jim said. That car had a 5 at the front. not 680bhp!
