My friend got his monaro back from the tuners ...
One of my friends back home has a holden monaro (this car is sold here as a pontiac GTO). He recently dropped a *lot* of money on it.
 The shop he went to had an engine dyno as well as a chassis dyno, so he was able to get actual crank Hp as well as wheel Hp. I guess there really is no substitute for displacement ... Crank power/torque:  Wheel power:  Kinda makes modding a wrx seem like a waste of time ...

Yeah, but that's like metric horsepower... over here in the States, he'd only put down like 185hp to the rear wheels.

yeah, and they are probably running on liters of fuel, not gallons like we do here.
