Yeah but it's a US test. If we are getting 8kw less I'd like to see what effect that has on the numbers.

 

I don't think there will be much differences, right?! only 8 kw difference isn't really a big deal! Also the US people are using Octane 87 instead of 98 though.... we are using better fuel, aren't we? so should perform equally I GUESS! We shall see the official reports from our australia presses! cant wait!

cheers,

I don't expect much of a difference but there will be a difference. Maybe 0.1 sec in the 0-100 time.

As for fuel octane it really doesn't matter. If they have 214 on 87 or we have 206 on 98 they still have more. Anyway you can't compare octane ratings between the US and Oz. One is RON and the other is... MON? Can't recall at the moment but there is a difference.
