Will people PLEASE get through their stupid heads that flywheel calculated RR figures are NOTHING but pure FICTION calculated by software The flywheel figure is also different for each rolling road due to the different software that each one uses - so you cannot make ANY comparisons from one rolling road to another . The only figure you should be paying ANY attention to is the at wheel power. If anyone disagrees with this, then you're a moron .

PS. I can't believe that Pops is making sense for once in his life - he's got to stop now, as it's scaring me .

Too true Mike as you pointed out, but as a guide and for some-thing to quote people, it is a bit of fun too!!
If the figures are on the same rollers though surely it must bear some relevance?
I know I have beaten cars of higher HP than mine on the road, and been beaten by ones with lower, but it's easier to quote bhp than who you beat on what day!!!
Also it does sound the tit's when your car is doing 100mph on the spot next to you...you gotta agree to that surely??
