Black Thunder Hits the Rolling Road.

[T S Magnum]

My beast has been busy recently (and the car ha ha). Isle of Man last week, rolling road today. Went to Surrey Rolling Road- fantastic facility, staff (Charlie) very knowledgable.

She put out a calculated 171.5 bhp (6600 rpm) and 149 ftlb (5600 rpm) at the flywheel which I'm pretty happy with. Clear hike in torque at 5000 rpm as expected. :approve:

And the video...

Anyone got any other figures from SRR (or others) for comparison?

now MOD its knackers off and take it back!

 

[caymanr26]

is yours a 172 or 182 - seems a bit low for a 182 doesnt it?

 

[Batman]

171 for a 182 isnt bad at all really

 

[mark.k@GDI]

yeah thats right good ones rarly see 175hp!

172's are approx 166hp something to do with french calculation! :S

Cheers guys. Charlie said he'd never seen a 172/182 make the claimed power. Mine was absolutely bang on the book torque too which was nice. I agree that it must vary massively between diff RRs but as long as I stick to the same one...

Nice figures mate, although, take it to another RR and it maybe different. Take it back to the first one on a colder day and again, could be different.

Good to see the torque figures bang on!

Remember 172 or 182 isn't actually the BHP.
