HSV currently runs 275's on the back yeah?

[S.O.S]

Acording to carpoint and redbook, they only have front wheels.

A think your right 265-275 but i can't find anything that claims these cars have rear wheels .

Holden has always had trouble getting fwkw to the back wheels with minimal loss.

It's clearly less that Holden/HSV has more driveline losses and that Ford has labelled their cars with their wheel outputs. And it's crank HP, not fwkw, fwkw would be what a FWD car puts down on the rollers.

Yeah, and I think the SS is on 245s on the smaller wheels and 255s on the bigger ones (the V wheels). Would the extra tyre grip really be enough to break shit with the sort of grunt these motors are chucking it out though?

I'd be interested in comparing drivetrain losses of similar and dissimilar cars just to see how small/big the variances would be.

I hear 15% for RWD cars thrown around all the time, but how accurate is that?

I thought was more like 20-25% for RWD and 25-30% for AWD.

Maybe I was thinking bikes? I dunno. I found some shit that seems to say about what you have.

That's something they should look into.
flywheel kw lol.

is that what they are worried about, breaking stuff with better grip ?.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

New Job tomorrow. Yay. I'm looking forward to it, actually, I'm just not sure what to expect. Office work, I suspect.

This space, watch it.

[S.O.S]

Good luck. no office rage.

[pimento]

Did you have a job description going in, or is this more like a russian roulette setup.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I've been told a basic set up of "You'll be filing, compling etc"

Beyond that I don't know.

[pimento]

So.. you'll be spending merry days putting things in drawers. Just think.. when they go to a paperless office, you'll be out of a job!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Au Contraire.

I can work the Database. And not train anyone else too.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It might not break anything but it will definately transfer more wear backwards through the CV's, diff, and clutch. The Fords also have a bad diff bush design and you cant fix it without noticeably increasing the NVH.

So any increase in wear is something to consider. also would love to see a copy of the warranty. what it covers in case of a failure.. anyway, how many will keep them factory spec for longer then 12 months lol.

Was that an issue with the b series ?.
