Did anyone see the figures that the 4wd cars were pulling at the TP Dyno day in the last Performance Car Mag??????? What gives?

Does a Twin Turbo VR4 pull more power at 4 wheels than an R33 GTRdoes at two??
(Both owned by the same person)

Whoa hold on Tok. TP's 4wd part was not working right and the numbers produced were well over 30% too high hahahaha.
That has now been fixed and the numbers seen for the dyno are within lik 4kw of Possum Bourne's dyno.

Yeah I thought so, cos the 4wd cars were pulling ridiculously high KW at the wheel figures.

Ben the software being developed had not been finely tuned. They spent the better part of 13 hrs on the friday before setting it up, but when they exited the system for some reason it did not save the changes. This was not discovered until the first car ran. As soon as it did, which was Mark's VR4, they knew. Again everyone was told this but the others wanted to see high numbers to make them feel great.

So before you go and cock off gather facts :flipa:
