hehe if i win ill buy everyone a drink :D

Was reading up on WRC.com, and came accross this little extract:

FIA rules say that WRC cars must be based on a standard road car bodyshell. For WRC use it is stripped to the bare metal and the spot-welds that hold it together are replaced by seam welding. All unnecessary brackets and mounting plates are removed to save weight, and a tubular steel roll-cage is welded in. After around 700 hours of work it emerges vastly stronger and stiffer than before. Most WRC cars could support the weight of ten road cars. The FIA requires all WRC engines to have a 34mm restrictor in the air intake, which holds down power output to around 300bhp. The cylinder block and head(s) must be based on those in the standard road car, but the crankshaft, con-rods, pistons, cylinder linings, valves and camshafts can be modified. Typical turbo boost is 4-5 bar - compared with up to 1 bar for an average road car - while anti-lag systems mean the turbocharger delivers maximum boost from tick-over. The result is massive torque - up to around 700Nm - about the same as a Ferrari Enzo.

All I can say is holy poop! 5bar = 70psi!!! Love to see an RB25 hold that LOL

^yeah, thats true. Amazing that the intake restrictor (34mm) restricts them right down to 300HP - would love to see what they could get without the restrictor in place. With those sort of pressures would surely have to be 600HP+?

BTW I just hooked up my new Samsung 22" widescreen SyncMaster 2243 monitor for the PC :D Time to watch some movies :O

I have 22" LCD screens at work and hate this small 17" at home ... so I went out and bought an LCD better than the one I have in my office. :D

:D

    • I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.
    • These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.
    • You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.
    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
