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!
I'm still here
I don't understand how a reply from someone that said "UTTER bullshit" couldn't be interpreted as being nasty? If I said that to you, you wouldn't be offended at all?
. I don't know you, nor am I looking to pick a fight - but your intial reply was pretty rude I thought. Why couldn't you have said "I don't think thats correct, you'll find your are incorrect because of x, y & z etc etc", and then we could have discussed it more, rather than you turning to profanities at the very first opportunity?
I posted my information on the basis of that video that was linked to, numerous hours of Bathurst and ATCC footage I have watched over the years, and in-depth information online. I think its obvious that there isn't going to be a simple answer to the bhp debate, due to what Dick claimed in that video being at odds with other information posted here and on the net.
Anyway, this will be my last post on the BHP subject, as I don't want to see a good thread on here turn to crap. I'm very interested in the DJR cars and posted my original reply because of my great fondness for them. If I am proved wrong then so be it - I will happily admit it.
In the meantime I'm genuinely interested to find out more about the engine specs as it appears there are numerous versions of what power they were running.
