The 'Family' car finally got dyno'd....

[Kelly]

Well went to a RR today to see what the legnum is running as a 'before' reading before anything else gets done to it.

Turns out she is pushing 204 @ the wheels.

No wonder the thing hurts your neck off the line with 312ft lb torque

The ATF figure which was 265 doesnt seem to be calculating transmission lost the way we figured a 4wd auto would. Club vr4 have their own lil formula to work it out which puts the car at 290@the fly. Whatever the figure, it performs on the road and nice to have a baseline to compare with now for future reference.

nice figure I bet it feels great on the road.

Im driving a 290bhp auto maxima at the moment and I have to admit it is a beast on the road. See big cars can be fun too

Aye its very odd on the road, you dont expect something so big to move so quick. But then your also very very comfy too. Different end of the scale from being in a lil starlet
