Where do you need a dyno when you can see the top power and top torque from http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=contents?
Top speeds can be seen with Bob Smith's Gear Ratio Calculator (http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/thefloatingwidget/lfs_grc.html)

Chassis Dynomoters, usually shortened to Rolling Roads, as opposed to Engine Dynomometers which are shirtened to Dynos, can't tell you your top speed.

All they can tell you is the torque figures are various rpms under various loads. Some mistaken dyno people tell you that you can work out the transmission losses whilst on the overrun, but thats just twaddle put about by people who own but don't understand dyno's.

However, compared to some of your previous posts, this is quite good, so perhaps there's hope for you yet ;)

Haha tristan that last sentence was so harsh! :D

Anway, theirs no need for a dyno as it tells you the specs if the cars in game and on the website.

Dildo too. <cut>



what? :shrug:

Well, he DOES have that disclaimer signature warning you ;)

well dynos actually do tell you what ur top speed will be ill post my dyno sheet of my car up if ud like

so before u give ppl crap know what you are talking about

[tristancliffe]

Never believe a dyno unless you watched it being set up. I've been to about 30 different rolling roads in my time (through work), and only about 2 actually knew what they were talking about...

But yes, I'd be interested to see your dyno 'sheet' if possible

What? Well that's bollocks. They could tell you what your car is geared to reach if you had the power to overcome drag. But unless they know at least basic aerodynamic properties of your car, they can't tell you.
