Hi IW

Tuners here tend to quote kW figures at the crank, not at the rear wheels. 350bhp ey? Not bad... no wonder it goes quick!

Here's a few more for you to convert. Standard car has 210kW at the crank, and has 400Nm of torque at 4000rpm. What is that in foot/pounds?

Fuel consumption is 14.4 litres / 100 klms in city and 8.2 litres / 100 kilometres in highway mode. MPG?

0 to 100 kph in about 5 seconds flat (when the clutch is bedded in) and it has been derestricted to go to about 290kph (the standard car is restricted to 250).

Now - if you could put THAT into terms that my US-based WIS buddies can understand, it would be great! Otherwise, it must be like I am speaking another language...

Enjoy the day and thanks for the response! IanM
