To a man, I think she sounded great on the road Daz, roar and full of power, did you have any other read outs from the Griffs to compare Daz ?

What Daz hasn't posted is the print showing the fuelling trace - absolutely spot on right through; very impressive.

Might have video clip of the second pull :-)

st!

This rolling road lark, it's just not good enough, there's no calibration system these things can and should be matched up to,
You just don't know what to believe.
Saying that I've never believed your 345 bhp either, but then I watched your video and how it spins from tickover upto high revs in 1/2 a second,, very impressive,

It did look more like your attemp to get the job on top gear mind hehe

Thing is you know when an engines fast by driving it, the numbers don't always tell the full story but driving it will.

Your drag times make a simple and obvious point Daz wink

I would say rolling road under reading were it not for Anthony's result. Looks good though

Mine was at Jools'

Daz, and anyone else in the area, there's an alternative Horse Power event at Burghley House tomorrow (Sunday) from 9.30 - 5.00 - 600+ Astons will be present, including the DB10. Weather forecast looks good.
