My friend got his monaro back from the tuners ...
 

One of my friends back home has a holden monaro (this car is sold here as a pontiac GTO). He recently dropped a *lot* of money on it. :twisted:

The shop he went to had an engine dyno as well as a chassis dyno, so he was able to get actual crank Hp as well as wheel Hp. I guess there really is no substitute for displacement ...

Crank power/torque:

Wheel power:

Kinda makes modding a wrx seem like a waste of time ... :cry:

Yeah, but that's like metric horsepower... over here in the States, he'd only put down like 185hp to the rear wheels. :P

yeah, and they are probably running on liters of fuel, not gallons like we do here.

Actually we use "litres" :P

Sweet! When is he gonna get it on the track for some real testing?

awesome...

Thats awsome!

That's up there with the level of AIX cars... :shock:

I think you said it best with this statment, because the WRX could be just as powerfull

wounder what your car would put down with a *lot* of money :wink:
