you supply the cars and I will spectate.

Shane came up with 246.8 Kw yet mine was dynoed (elsewhere ) at about 180 Kw. Down the 1/4 I beat shane by nearly 1/2 a second and we have the same gearing and similar tyres. My Mph is about 4 more than shanes. ( This isn't to have a go at shane, it's just to compare )

I think the numbers here already speak for themselves. The Xr8s actually made more power on the dyno .. Do you want to be spanked again ??? :p :s6: :s6: :s6:

mate ... bring yours down one day ... Mark will wack it on ... I hear what you say with the figures and I was f'n surprised when I saw the 246 ... but it roared ... a bit like the stang ...sorry ... the stang like it ...age corrected

I crawled everywhere to get those V8s (one had 50km on the clock hehehe)... thought you could get them in a few minutes ....

the offer is there ... Mark and I can set the place up for a proper shootout ... think about it awhile

as for getting spanked again... were "we"? the never ending battle ...

I'm running generally at about 260 but was down to 240 (239.9) for the day ...

cheers

ps ... what were your actual terminal speeds on the 1/4

xacoupe · 07-13-2003, 00:49

The Battle Begins (tm)
the terminal was 104

Most other people I know with BA's aren't really into dynoing them so I won't have much luck there.

Next time there is a dyno day down here we will see what will happen.

Here's a thought, how about we put the stang on herrod's dyno during the raid?????

some non-stock cars were pumping 225, 246, 264, 271 etc ...

Be nice, people who attack others personally tend to have a short life on the forums.
Please note that not ONE but ALL of the above readings are significantly higher than any others ever detailed on the forums or other places.
It is just coincedental that every car measured is higher than average?

Here we go with the good old Dyno debate,atleast it's good reading though,everyone will have their own thought's on this issue,but me I think those reading's are a little high,but hey if the customer is happy and they were all run on the same day after one another we can get a judgement on the diffrence's between the GT's and XR8,

xacoupe · 07-13-2003, 02:34

let's not get onto the dyno debate as I don't think there is any answer.
I guess the thing is if you get mods done, get it measured on the same dyno as the previous measurement or it mans nothing.

Rod, you are welcome.
