The road going F430 was detuned to a 4.0 litre for this race class, this is called detuning.Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen

it was reduced in size, not detuned.....Originally Posted by Dino Scuderia

No that's call resizing. Furthermore it was done to get the maximum performance out of the engine, so calling it detuning is just plain silly. Panoz have gone another route; by making their car heavier they can still run wider restrictors despite having a 4.6 litre engine.Originally Posted by Dino Scuderia
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

Furthermore it porbably runs a higher compression, freer exhaust, more agressive engine mapping, and so on... so hardly what I'd call detuned...

Visca Catalunya!
It is still a highly tuned engine, agreed, yet it produces less HP and torque than the road car.Originally Posted by Ferrer
Yes that's because the air-intake is restricted. If the racing car's engine could breath freely, it would easily produce more horsepower than the road car.Originally Posted by Dino Scuderia

Look at it this way, what kind power and torque figures do you think it'd produce a 4-litre version of the 4.3-litre V8 in road car with the restrictors of the race car in it...?Originally Posted by Dino Scuderia

You do have proof to substantiate your statement, right?Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen
What exactly is your point? You lost this arguement many posts ago and yet continue to act like a big baby trying to get your way. The F430 GTC engine is not a detuned version of the F430 road car engine.Originally Posted by Dino Scuderia

Yes it is.Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen
Now cut the personal attacks.
Less than the 4.3 so in effect it would be detuned.Originally Posted by Ferrer
How is a detailed description of your behaviour a personal attack? This post again proves that you are acting like a big baby.Originally Posted by Dino Scuderia
