RR Result

[eff eff]

Just put this on the Chim forum by mistake think its better here

Finally got the car Griff on a rolling road and I have to say I'm surprised and very pleased with the results.
We did 10 runs and this was not the best but what the tuner felt was the most representative of the power output.
All I know is that it is bl**dy quick and I haven't had the road to take it above 4500 rpm!!

Nice one Frank - nice looking torque curve and over 500 of 'em

Look forward to seeing you at GG and Dunsfold again(?)

Thanks Paul, hope to get to Dunsfold, and this year I've got a six speed box and a clutch set up that actually works

Looks like Quinnys is down on power

Yes

Over 500 torques in a car that weighs just over a tonne. That is bonkers! Good work

well done Frank, must be awesome to drive.

Much better too that they happen at over 4000rpm and that the engine is quite a bit tamer (reduced torque) at lower rpm

That's the beauty of that engine the torque builds progressively with the revs so it's actually very drivable..........almost

Think I need a parachute next mate!

That's amazing - must be awesome to drive.

Whereabouts in Dorset are you? - there are some great roads in the North Dorset area.

Imho the car is better with the current power level than if it were detuned (smaller cam) to a 400-430bhp level because how it is now, the peak torque is higher up the rpm range and some excessive low down grunt is taken away. Which results in your experience of (almost) driveability.

More power is logical

I agree, also I think the fly-by-wire throttle helps, it's very responsive but doesn't allow you to slam the throttle open.
Downshifting is better too as the throttle doesn't slam shut. You can still heel and toe so it ticks all the boxes for me, oceans of power when you want it and (almost) docile when you don't.

The roads in Bournemouth are terrible - definitely worth the 30 min drive north

If your thinking of heading up here, it would be great to see your car and go for a little hoon.

[eff eff]

I'd be up for that

Great numbers Frank !!!!!


Think the second post was hinting at you wind the chimpsters up!!!

It was an mistake Ant...........honestly
