I'm sure the dyno sheet would only tell half the story of how this thing behaves. Drive it through the hills with its tricky diffs and sticky tyres and it would be an absolute bullet. E85 and give it more boost through the middle would fatten it up even more but I'm not sure how much the peak figure would change.

Definitely want a drive!

Wish the speed reference was revs instead easier to read, anyone able to give rpm reference points?

That run would have been done in 3rd gear.

That's 22.5 km/h per 1000 RPM. (Close enough when factoring in tyre sizes)

90 km\h is 4000 RPM.

Why would anyone use 3rd, not even wheel/ tyres would simulate a proper 4th gear pull.

Wouldn't those dots on the map represent rpm points?

Last dot meaning 8k?

Out of interest, what makes you say it is in 3rd gear?

Because the dyno run went to 180 km/h which is the top of 3rd in a factory geared box. It's making peak power around 160 km/h which is 7000 ish RPM. If it was in 4th it's peak power would be like 5500 RPM (rough calcs) which isn't right.

Hmmm I just look at it again, I'm an idiot. Thanks.

I agree.

Real world experience In this car would be the only true testament.

Even if it doesn't make more than 360kw peak it would have such a absolute meaty power band.

    • Yes there is a front and back insertion point on each side, each point is tubed with supports into the car and tied to the cage/ floor mount point
    • Is the jack stand system tied into the cage somehow? Upgrades look goooood 😍
    • Big updates, tons of work and $$$ 
    • it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
