8bhp for an edition 30?

I could count on one hand the amount of ED30/Cupra/GTI/S3's i've seen run under manufacturers figures and i'd still have enough fingers to pleasure the Mrs...  :love:

I didn't think an R32 could afford to lose 23hp!  :signLOL: :signLOL:

cmdrfire:
I reckon people would notice if their car was missing 20-30hp!  :surprised:

Thing is, even though it's done on the same dyno, all sorts of stuff affects empirical readings like this. Weather, humidity, what day of the week it was, Earth's gravitational spin, sunspots, cosmic rays, etc., etc.

It would still be the fastest car in the world though.......  :driver:

Time for my medication nurse.  :laugh:

I think those figures are suspect.
I don't understand why a hub dyno is so accurate compared to any other dyno. All they measure is work. :confused:
