Horsepower Heroes

[NIZ30]

Now tha we have the track and drag tables. How a bout a horsepower one, similar to these. Proven power of course.

Split it up into engine catorgories : RB20DE, RB20DET, RB25DE, RB25DET, RB26DETT(and above ie 2.6-3.0 litres). Also a 4 & 8 cylinder class for those not as lucky as some.

Not sure if this thought is original, probably not.

no, thats a poxy name, call it kilowatt killers

This is very dependant on dynos... all it'll do is encourage people to dyno their car at the highest reading dyno in their area to get the best figure...

I think the 1/4 Mile and Racetrack lap times are much better units of measurement for comparing our cars...

[Munro]

Yep.Times rule.Dynos are for tuning.Tracks are for proving.

Besides, what good is 1000hp if you can't harness it & do what we all like doing - going heaps fast.

Often more power doen't make a car go faster.Power + traction+

good driving = killer times(drags or circuit)

Just my opinion.

[Squizz]

Yeah, and after last weeks effort, I don't like dynos anymore...

[Guest Boxhead]

lol @ squizz, hang in there buddy, im sure even tho your car is usin 3cyl, it will beat most of ours lol...

umm yeah i spoz, but then again merli, track times can be altered via weather, the track etc.. there is always going to be un controlable variables...

I love the idea so long as "Dyno/Workshop Where Recorded" is a required field.

I think it'd be great.

Just cos you feel that 1/4 times or lap times are more important shouldn't preclude those with a raw hp bent from having their achievements recorded.

I'm all for it.
