If anyone posts figures which are not based on real life they shouldn't be surprised if someone points this out especially when real life is the topic of the thread.
I am not surprised at all! My 0 to 60 times are real world with the issues I experienced after installing my supercharger. My 0 to 173 are dyno numbers as I plainly stated! I don't expect them to be real world until I can personally prove them myself!
I certainly don't question the accuracy of your numbers Teo just their relevance
I stand by what I said - dyno readings are not a valid way of measuring top speed or accelleration .
I disagree, dyno numbers are a very valid way of coming close to final track numbers! Yes the track finally proves those numbers, but it is 99% dyno numbers to ensure they are going in the right direction!
By definition accelleration and top speed only exist in the real world ( which was the topic) and whilst you can measure power on a dyno you can't accellerate or achieve a top speed because the car doesn't move.
I know EXACTLY what the initial topic was! And that is how I responded initially!
Dyno and real life ? The rules are totally different .
Far from true! In todays world it is it is much closer than you think or believe!
Take top speed , On a dyno weight and drag coefficient mean nothing but on the road they mean everything above 150 mph.
And on the road that 150mph is still 150mph whether it is up or down a steep hill .
It is all computed on paper/computer first! Then proved on a dyno, then finally on the track for final confirmation!
Same with acceleration 0-100 is far harder uphill than down but nobody's car doest not do 0-100 on a dyno
I NEVER go uphill! It is too hard on my knees!!!
Now shall we go on forever disagreeing or kiss and make up?
But NOT on the lips!!!
