That's what I have known all along. It's disappointing. But numbers and sales is what manufactures push for. So a little white lie never hurts a consumer. Until the tuners and nut cases like us start tinkering with it. Then the truth comes out.

 

Well I will give them some room for the "creative truth". They do put numbers that represent power at the crank which we can not so easily measure. If was selling i would have to use the set of numbers that show my product best. At least the playing field is level to some degree because all the manufactures use the happy numbers.

 

Happy numbers good one Doc.

 

Regarding your new avatar i recognize you but is that your black cousin in the back. I do like it.

 

Loss on the drivetrain and conservative tuning at the factory.

 

He is blackanese!

 

I bow.

 

Here's the video wedgeduck of kanye n jayz killing a Maybach.

i heard they lost $ on every Maybach. Is that true?

 

WOW! I just do not understand. I am using kind restraint.

I would like to see those children 25 years from now and get their take on that video.

 

It is good PR entertainment... and maybe he hated his car and so this video allowed it to be written off at top dollar? Then again the planned Enzo crashing at a PR event for some lackluster car movie a few years back flopped wildly.

 

Again I learn there is another way to see things.

Note to self Dr.D's way is not the only way.

 

Wow. Let me chop one up. It will look really exotic and have the performance to back it up. Then I would get it armored and have the Doc shoot at us while we are all inside. This would really be good PR for the new Bentley Boys. All we need now is to pass the collection plate around and get this project started.

 

More like ****ty fuel in combination with ridiculous high IAT temperatures on a dyno with non-suffiecient cooling
Knock knock spark retard ...Thats what kills all your power.

 

Yep, 91 octane is kinda crappy. Those 22" killed a lot of power. Dyno with bad cooling is not good. Gotta run a big *** fan in front of the vehicle when you dyno. In the long run, a basic Bentley GT only gets about 410 to 420whp. A lot of tuners come to this conclusion. Also, I am going run meth(not the dope). Can't find 93 octane out here. Race fuel only at the track. On meth, the way I want her, she will be a pretty fast Bentley Alot of factors come into when you dyno, elevation, temp, wheel size, but my nephews race a lot of JDM vehicles that are amazingly fast. They will all testify that drivetrain lost is huge in HP.
