Another way to put it -

B5 RS4 - 235bhp/ton (rough taking a kerb weight of 1620kg)
B7 RS4 - 250bhp/ton (rough taking a kerb weight of 1710kg)
Leon K03 Stage 2+ Supercar - 214bhp/ton (that's taking it being the minimum of 1395kg Kerb weight and car actually having 300bhp)
Realistic K03 Stage 2+ - 203bhp/ton (working off 280bhp & 1395kg weight)

47bhp/ton extra is a lot to give way to. The RS4 Driver must have been Tonk if it was a B7 RS4

I can show you a very scary Stage 2 graph on a K03.


This was Fishface's before Revo developed the 2+ code. The reason for the quite high figures was that it was operating outside the normal map parameters and hence why 2+ was developed to reign things in a bit.

Apparently it was quite quick as well.  :wink:

Shame you haven't got a copy of the AFR reading for that though. It looked like a Seismograph reading from an earthquake :laugh:

That's if the RS4 is in fact 414bhp, which most aren't!  :confused:

At last, I think we may have a worthy competitor to take on the mighty Leon (as long as there are no corners involved!!)  :wink:

Ask Bacillus about his spookily high (and consistently high) outputs, regardless of the Dyno. :wink:

I doubt if the guy in the feature has the highest output K03 :innocent:

Also doubt if his motor is anywhere near as fast as he makes out..........definitely the stickers :grin:
Golf R gone.
