if your all adament im wrong, you all put together for our cars to be RE-ROLLING ROAED to prove me wrong
But untill then all i have to say is all 3 of these people cant be wrong no matter who has what on here.
They are all qualified in what they do and its on black and white what the powers were .. so
PROVE ME WRONG with our cars being retested !

you take the cars to a place where its read at the fly and get them re tested to prove that the results in the total vauxhall are wrong

There's no need to retest the cars. The figures are correct, they're just fly not wheel.
The Vauxhall figure of 199 for a Z20LET is fly.
The road figures of 255 and 267 for your car are fly.
Quite why we need lengthy debate, retesting of cars or criticism of how the site is run I'm not clear.

we believe the figures chap, but they are flywheel figures, before the transmission eats the horses up

And did you not wonder at the time about the anomalies at outlined in this thread? Consider for more than 30 seconds that some of the power figures go against probability.

And if anyone can find the old brochures I'll verify that the Z20LET figure is fly. Looking at the new ones but it's not clear. I can guess it that they're quoting 240ps for an LEH and if that were wheels then multiplying that up for a fly figure would sell more cars, and I'm asking why they didn't do that?
Is it because the quoted figure is already fly? Is it because they bench test the engines and quote that, not introduce all sorts of opportunities to get it wrong, which being a manufacturer they can't do?
But still, I'll keep looking in order to actually verify what it is that I'm saying, rather than just say someone else said it's true therefore I blindly believe it. I couldn't gaf what career they all have. If I doubt something I generally will try and find actually what is going on. Not win an argument on the internet by repeating the same figures we've all seen many times. It doesn't prove anything.
Someone find me a coupe turbo brochure PDF.

If it's a quote figure from the manufacturer then you need the small print tells you how it's measured. I'm sure the old ones used to explain it.
