Had the Monaro on rolling road this afternoon!

Dont think i'll be doing that ever again! It tried to jump of the rollers LOL (i can laugh now!! but not then!)

It was a vectra owners club meet, all V6 vectras, so i though id have a go! It was trapped down, but as the revs built it slowly lifted more and more onto the front roller & it was slipping as tyres shined up... So he called it off! Still, it got 350bhp at 4200rpm when he backed off! But the curve to there is awesome straight line!! wow!! And the sound!!

I know not fully accurate.. but 350bhp/340lb torque made me grin for a slipping run!! Gonna get it on a dyno pack sometime... but in no rush, today was just something that happened right place, right time!!!!

Im actually also a little annoyed at myself now.. what if it had jumped off :(

Sounds possibly like they didn't reconfigure the RR to suit your car. They should have used Shoot_8 mode for your car and Shoot_6 for the others. The number represents the Cylinders. Shoot_44, for example, is for 4 cylinder, 4 wheel drive cars such as the Scoobies & Evo's. They should also have selected the Monaro as the car model.

It's also a good idea to keep the speed down below 90mph to minimise the risk of the car jumping off. To do this mine was run in 4th gear.

Might be worth getting some propper results on the Silverstone/GT2/WRC Dyno Day on the 14th August if you're going.
