I did read through the info in the link & I'm still not a believer sorry.
I'm not here to cause an argument or a s#%t fight.
My reasoning is simple. A car that weigh's so much, make's so much power, can only go so fast & that's it.
You take a standard Golf GTI which weigh's approx 3100 pound's with a driver, fuel etc.
This car makes 147kw's (200hp).
The best recorded 1/4 mile by most magazines is approx 14.7 -15.0 ET with DSG. No MPH recorded.
Update: The lastest Motor Mag recorded a 14.6@97MPH
This work's out to be 98% spot on. The car is making a tiny bit more hp than indicated by the manufacturer by only approx. 15hp.
I'm not saying that all manufacturer's figure's are the be all & end all, as most German & Japanese car company's do underestimate there power figure's.
Also, that dyno graph indicates it's in shootut mode which can have a controlled drivetrain loss built into it, so it would be indicating the crank power/kw's.
If you go off the result's in the link, the GTI would be able to run very low 14's to high 13's.
