FTO AUSTRALIA

yeah i'm not suprise with the E55, dyno don't really tell what a car can do on the road either.

I've seen lots cars that pull a lot more kw then the E55, but won't do 0-100 in 4.3sec and 12.5sec 1/4 miles (Stock figures). kw is one thing, getting it on the road is another.

hrmms.. yeah true that.. suppose you still gotta consider power to weight ratio & also if your givin someone a run.. the "driver".. hehehhe

It was a great day for both spectators and dyno'ers. Sorry it took me so long to post the results.

This is from Brandon (GTCC)

I was very lucky that Sam hadn’t tuned his STI yet so managed to sneak away with highest Kws.

As main organiser I stepped down anyway and gave 1st place to Sam.

Congrats to Sam.

Cheers
Kev

Well not really, you comparing different dyno result, as i've seen some even with 91kwatw. But like I said average so far is 95-105kwatw.

The only way to really compare them is to have few FTO on the same dyno.

But i guess your point is "performance FWD" aren't really performer when it comes to power at the wheels.

mate I was talking about other cars and how some had crap results.

96 from a stock fto is about right.

hey kev.. im pretty certain that the merc is stock as! nice n clean..

khunjeng, my fto's fairly stock, just the usual pod n exhaust.. the previous owner did say that he payed 3k for the exhaust system.. so i assumed that it was a manifold back for that price, but preformance wise its suggesting that its more like a $300 muffler.. (speaking of which i still havent had a look under the car) ... the cars not in the best of all state atm so maybe thats why its not running at its full potential? *shrugs*

kirbz.. i dont actually know the guy, but he looks pretty familiar.. he was there with his missues.. drives a red s2k
