depends what you upload on to it. He's probably uploaded 3gp files so you will need quicktime or similar.

well, ive been and the results are good came out at 151 bhp at the wheels. which using a standard calculation of:
power at wheels + 10 divided by 0.95 = Power at fly.
151 + 10 = 161 / 0.95 =
169.47 bhp 
also gained 5 ft/lb of tourqe. car feels so much better and pulls much smoother. i will post up a graph later. also some nice cars there i will post some pics when i get round to it. so who was closest?
erm no. you can't calculate your fly power like that. you have 151hp t the wheels on that RR

well, power at the wheels is a far more accurate figure than power at the fly anyway. its just that so many people now go by power at the fly. Most places will show a fly figure by calculating losses through transmisson on run down to give the customer a higher figure. like my local rolling road for example, every car that the local chavs take there comes back with laughable figures, a corsa 1.6 16v that was standard made 123 bhp but they all think its great, leave with a smile on their face and come back and pay for more. bit of a con really.
I never judge a car by the figures anyway, they dont mean much. its how the car performs on the road that matters. peak bhp is is not what is important, its how the car performs in the bits between bottom and peak figures that counts.

the step down is accurate so long as the car is in working order, the tyres are the correct pressure, gear box oil is warm, hot tyres, fly wheel. change these and the readings will be wrong. there is nothing wrong with ATW figures so long as you use the same RR, your car is run the same way each time then you can see the difference. the fly or wheel figure are accurate for the time it was done
