500 HP evosport C32..... (EuroTuner GP Day 1)



Well gang,

We are entered into the EuroTuner Dunlop Tires TunerGP 2004 with our monsterous C32. Not one to just be good enough, we cranked out some nice engineering from Vadim and Gary and landed with a 410 to 420 REAR WHEEL HP C32 (depending on Dyno).

This was verified with K&N's dyno today at the first day of the three day competition (dyno, drags, road course).

Here is the sheet from K&N:



On our dyno we say a peek of 421.

We will be giving updates throughout the week on the progress of the little Mercedes versus all the Porsche's/Audi's/VW's/BMW's.

Thanks

Brad

That's a boatload of power, but why are there several extreme dips and peaks in the curves?

Micah,

The large dips represent the car shifting gears while on the dyno.

Thanks,

Ben

Oh, Ok. I'm accustomed to seeing single-gear pulls.

Single-gear pulls are easily obtainable on manual transmissions, however with the automatic, you have to fight the car's desire to downshift. Thus most auto tranny dynos will show 2 gears.
