I know you were joking, but if such a thing DID exist, DragonSol is Canadian, and so he WOULD want it... :)

If you take the factory hp and divide it by your stock dyno run you will get some idea of what the new numbers at the wheels mean.

260/210 = 1.23

Now if you take imaj wheel HP and multiply it by the 1.23 you will see he has 325/326 HP at the crank.

confused yet?

No not yet, but that makes sense. I didn't try that 325 is great! I have a friend that keep saying his BMW Z4 is the fastest production car with 300 HP.... now I can counter his statements!

PS - Dragon, I used to work not that far from you... Steeles and Pharmacy.

Hey Liquid... yeah that IS close. I'm discovering how may Sol owners are around here. How's BC?

If is not Z4M or the new Z4 35i (biturbo engine) all the others Z4 are weak compared with ours with a tune on top. The Z4m and the new Z4 35i is outrageous expensive, Z4 35i loaded is same price with the base model of Porsche Carrera.

I tell you, best one is the new Porche Cayman S (with PDK tranny) but around same price as the stated above ones.

I challenged a Z4 3.0i at a drag event when I was completely stock, he refused after he saw when I smashed a 350Z :D and smashed another Z4 2.0i to another drag event.

It's about 10 years old. Not sure the specifics on it.... But it's good to know we're faster than a 350Z. I usually don't race people on the street, had a "challenge" from a PT cruiser. When I showed disinterest, he cut me off  :idk: I don't race on city streets.

Yeah, can't afford the Cayman but if I had the room in my garage I'd get the Boxster... I know... low end and slower than a Solstice. But I wanted one ever since I was a kid.

OK I will double the bet we'll make it $10 (CAD) and a can of Pepsi or Coke his choice.  Well maybe thats a little more then doubling it but it'll be worth it if it gets him to go over there and challenge you Kelu.

Fun with math, OK if I convert my Dyno Dynamics run to Dynojet HP, by subtracting 9% compensation then multiplying by the Dynojet factor of 1.22 I get 318 at the rear wheels, then I use the Critter factor to get to the fly wheel power by multiplying by 1.23 I get 392 HP at the fly wheel. I like that. By the way guys I found a new dyno in Manassas. He has a AWD Dyno Dynamics, looks like a really nice shop and dyno room. $100 for 3 pulls with AFR read out.
