Sorry dude, but dyno numbers are about as reliable as the weather.

Fair enough, the only way to make it accurate would be to use the same dyno, but thats impossible. Btw, ROFL at cummins new wheels thread :P Last edited by Werd.; 08-12-2007 at 06:36 PM. |

It's not about the numbers though. That site is useful in studying the power/torque graphs as opposed to reading misleading specs from a brochure.

I'm wondering how all these cars have roughly 10% drivetrain losses and an AU Falcon will have 25-30% drivetrain loss

it was also very interesting to see the Mazda MPS figures. Having lined up against a couple of them, I always thought they were very quick for only 190kw.

a lighter car with less HP can do the quarter quicker than a heavier car with more HP, if we were to use your theory then the smaller (lighter) car would have more HP..which is wrong..

yeah sorry i just glanced over your post, didnt read it properly, you're right in what your saying about cars of the same kind, but they still have their own characteristics that might give them an advantage. suppose we just have to believe what the manufacturer says.
