whats driveline loss around 12% these days?

 

Nice numbers, do you know at what RPM it made peak horsepower at? How many miles on the motor?

 

Whats you credit card number and expiration?

 

More like 19-20%

 

WTF?

 

(306-264.8)/306=13.4% drivetrain loss

 

You're actually right on that.
I got confused and was referring to pre 07 models, which is about 19%.

 

Lol, since everyone was thowing out questions I thought I would try..hehe

 

5th gear pull would have likely netted you a few more whp, on that Dyno jet Great numbers, either way.

 

how so? i would think that i'd get less power in 5th because its a longer gear.

*dyno sheet added

 

EVERY dyno Ive ever done my car has dyno'd higher in 5th gear. NA, ST and TT it always does more in 5th...Sharif beat me to posting that, this is why I asked...

 

Nice numbers!

*takes note on 5th gear dyno pulls*

 

hmm... didn't know that, it was my first time dynoing a car, so all of my knowledge of dynos prior to this was interweb knowledge (its not all that greater now)

whats the norm? what gear do most people dyno there car in? i was doing this to compare to previous year numbers, not to get a high number, cause as we all know, the one and only true dyno is the track

 

For ***'s sake, please don't compare numbers from different types of dynos...

LET ALONE different dynos of the same type which could be calibrated differently...

 

concerned that the 07's would be faster, I googled.

so the 07's aren't actually faster with the extra power though they're close in weight? +/- 40lbs -whatever it is.

 

The guy did 13.64 @ 104.68 - on stock tires

wow this is getting confusing a guy ran 13.64 stock and car and driver says 14.2 that is a pretty big difference in time in the 1/4.

 

car and driver sucks

 

Car and Driver are a joke.

 

i guess car and driver drives the car 3 times down the track and then posts their best time. Doesn't car and driver supposedly have professional drivers driving these cars down the 1/4 mile. Im starting to think they got the professional drivers off of forza shootout to drive these cars. Ive seen ppl that can't be called a professional and drive better times i just dont understand so many inconsistences.
