my mates, mates fg sedan manual had 269.3rwkw completely stock

That's an awesome number for a stock FG- definitely well over the 300 flywheel kW mark

How accurate are these figures? I have a HSV Clubsport R8. Badged 297kw and only managed 218rwkw on Bob Romano's dyno in Brisbane in SHOOTOUT_8. I can tell you, my car is fine, it feels and performs like it should, compared to other clubby's I've been in.

I would say from estimates that my 297fwkw = about 220rwkw, note it is a manual. ~25% loss?

So how are these XR6T's pulling 240rwkw, something is not adding up. Happy dyno's or grossly GROSSLY conservative figures from Ford.

The later. Ford are notorious for understating...same can't be said for the other mob.

I wouldnt say it's a bad thing to be honest about their power figures.

I think their power estimates are done by the same people that are now doing their fuel economy...

drove an ss and the xr6t back to back.. xr6t was in different league.. both new cars, with under 50klms on them. further confirmed when my wife blew off a 317 from the lights last week on nicklin way ! hilarious !

my mates turbo fg , auto, made 215rwkws completely stock on 98, and k&n panel filter.

seems abit low compared to most people on here??

my boat motor (boss 290) powered FG made 330rwhp (dead stock). so 246rwkw

Our G6E Turbo ran up between 298rwhp and 306rwhp, this was good enough for a 13.0 @ 108mph.

This was on the same dyno that our Territory made a best of 432awhp for a 11.8 @ 116mph.

Good point - were you using 98 octane fuel when you ran the 240rwkW or 95?
