You will still lose a few i reckon as you are using 2 different ways of measuring power. How you know which is correct is anyones guess

I keep asking on a thread and get NO response, i have also posted on the RSOC and again NO response

Since the show organiser left things have gone down hill very fast, such a shame as well

1/4 mile times wont tell you anything about Power just grip off the line & weight. The ET will give a better indication of Power. The good old fashioned Daddy Thrash at Brunters is the best bet. You can have a standing mile race against your rival & record all the times to get there. The guy with the fastest speed will have the most Power with no bullshit attached. Get 1-PD to organise it. Would love to see if we can add to the 15 Cossies past 180mph you need a genuine 490bhp to do that but past years proved very very few could muster that.
Ive retired from such events but would love to watch or help to organise.

Would mine do 180 with a 7400 rev limit and 215/40/17 tyres ? (standard T5 and 2wd diff)

Power dependant of course

no, it will tell you who has the biggest testicles, 90% of the people on PF wouldn't hit 200mph in your car in identical conditions

Mine needed 7600 at 185.5mph with 235/40/17 tyres and a fairly high fifth gear at 0.7985:1, so I guess it may touch 180 but as I've said before I think your limiting factor will be runway length not rpm
