No that was an error on the dyno - end result was about 650 iirc - proves that power isnt what it is all about.

What a great day, well done Team Zen

pmsl!
that dyno reading is 100% erroneous!!!!! hence the
sorry I thought people realised

Once the car was loaded on to the trailer it had 630bhp.

On the day, we had quite a bit less

I am very tired and going on holiday tomorrow, so not sure if I will get a report done too soon.

Cropped, lightened and desaturated a little, for people's delectation:-



I know technically the darkest 'black' isn't actually 100% black, but at least it allows you to see the front-end detail... Looks bad-***!

It was so bright yesterday I couldn't get the shutter speeds slow enough to capture some more movement. Still photoshop can help with that Just not had chance to edit any of my pics from yesterday yet. Got stuck in traffic on the M11 Didn't get in til about 8:45 and had been up since 4:30. The missus put my dinner in front of me which I ate and then promptly fell alseep on the sofa

Sorry if my reply come across like I thought you were. Didn't mean it like that. Have a go with this one. It's a bit sharper and has a little more motion in the wheels.

No, it didn't mate.

I was worried that you may have thought I was poo-pooing your original photo and trying to be 'elitist' with it lol
