Default Interesting result....

just recieved my blitz power meter so i thought i would try out the 0-62mph timer. im not the worlds greatest driver and my gear changes are not superb but....... 8.6 seconds. Are the official figures for cars often conservative??? cus according to every source i should be getting 9.1 for 0-60. Also, it refuses to get the power right too, should be between 115-123bhp but it wont let me get less than 130. although i just assume thats due to the power meter not being 100% accurate.

Different rear differential, suspension, brakes, and no rear ARB will all add up too. I think there's a thread somewhere on Imprezasport about the weight difference, ~100kg sticks in my mind but I could be making it up!
