sorry to sound like a nerd but i am starting to have that doubting thomas syndrome about my power/ performance. lately i have been more and more concerned by how i am starting to get unimpressed by my cars performance, i am convinced its not up to scratch, however i am also aware that we do get accustomed to our cars accelaration etc. due for a rolling road session on sunday and expect to se in the region of 300 bhp (unsure of torque. any ideas?), just hope i dont get a shock, although if i do i suppose it would satisfy my curiosity and give me reason to put my car into dealership to solve problem. is this a common problem expeienced by others or is there something i am missing, turbo problem, or just getting a diagnostics check done?????

 

Are you running the car on V-Power?

 

v power makes a massive difference

 

yes definately. got an oil change today as well and that seems to have helped slightly.

 

ignore this thread went for rr day at prosport , produced 329 bhp and 375 torque, was all in my head after all , sorry.

 

Apart from the PPP, have you done anything else to the car? That's a bit more than Prodrive quote.

i know mate, i was shocked as well. when i asked how this could be pete at prosport said that it may be running a slightly higher boost (nothing i have done), but more than likely i have just been lucky off the standard model from the production line, apparently now and again the odd one just develops slightly more power.i aint complaining!!!. results for rr day can be found in northern england section under rr day prosport

 

Speed junkie !

Only joking, try driving something drab for a while, modern cars do hide just how bloody quick they are these days.

dunx

 

what power was that at the wheels?? That's bloody impressive!

 

tbh i just dont know ! i suppose there must be some sort of mathematical formula thats fairly accurate ps had a look at those wheels you have there, are they the standard 17s sprayed, if so they look the part and wouldnt mind having a go myself (prof. of course) would save me a couple of quid. take it they cost about £45 a corner to do?

 

I assume they were sprayed but they came on the car when I bought it. Mine are chipped and curbed to buggary so I'll have to get them redone soon!
