Car is 85 000km, regular serviced, smooth run, no issues.
I took it to dyno and only 262HP (track version, EU) - is that normal?

 

[art_suckz]

Yup, manufacturers dont list horsepower that gets to the wheels.. they list HP at the crank.

300HP on the sticker is not the same as the wheel hp (what the dyno measures normally)


262 sounds about right for a dyno read

 

[smoothz]

Considering an approximate 15% drivetrain loss from crank to wheels, that's a pretty good power output, especially for a car with that many miles. You should be happy with that.

 

[Simon-Poland]

But that 262hp is not on wheels - it's on crank...
Transmission losess are about 45hp

No need to cry Simon.

Super Black Z's are well known to be the fastest color.

I've heard of SB Z's with leaking cylinders and 2:1 compression dusting Bugatti Veyron's from 0-3mph.




At least that's the word on the street.

I thought u dyno'd your car?

thats not to bad.

Horsepower sells cars
Torque wins races


its an old saying.

 

[yoshi]

wait, I thought dyno's did wheel HP #s not crank HP #s x_x

You didn't state that the dyno was done at the crank.

No need to cry Simon.

Still in denial? That's what SBZ owners tell themselves to fall asleep.

For the most part, yes. The dyno's we're used to do that.
