Hi All

Just a little debit going on.

What does the 308 stand for on the R8 clubby's - RWKW , Motor kw or fly wheel.

No way this could be the RWKW......could it.

Some just dont get it.

308? I believe there are 6l hsv's with a 307 badge. It's kilowatts at the flywheel.

308?! Not sure where it says 308 - The current VE motor has 317kw, 307kw on the early VEs

Edit: Motor or flywheel - DEFINITELY not RWKW

Correct. I don't know of any modles with power @ the wheels quoted mate...

Heaps of Expensive Daewoo bogan's seem to think it's 307 or 317 rwkw though, and I've heard heaps say the old Callaway C4B powered HSV's were 300rwkw too - that's awesome for a stock car !! :spit:

EDIT typo - farkin

I'm not sure such 'confusions' are limited to those in the Red Corner - just those that are misinformed! I'm sure there are some in the Blue Corner too.

The W427 would be 300k atw, or thereabouts. 375 flywheel kw

I had to enlighten a mate who bought a stock 260 Boss XR8 and tried to tell me he was 20kw up on my 240RWKW (custom tuned) and would beat me from A to B every time.

I'm a dog *beep* though so I acted like maybe he was right and lined him up on a private track... LOL!

His face honestly looked like I had told him his family was dead. Absolutely shattered.
