Did anyone watch the Veyron/f40 vid. Awesome. To see the speed of the Veyron from the cockpit gives some real feel to it. wow, that car hauls it for sure.
LOve the f40 feel/sound too.

Towards the end it showed 621.2HP... I doubt that's to the wheels.

G Rides Inc. is infamous around these parts
They were using a Dyno Dynamics Load Based Dynomometer in that video. I know this because I'm in the market for one and have direct experience with them. It has the ability to calculate whp and or SAE corrected hp at the crank and is extremely accurate. So, could be flywheel/crank hp. Regardless, that's a healthy engine!

why would the power increase just because they changed to new tires?

on the first set, they got 590hp. on the fresh set, they got 30hp more...

I read that issue of EVO. They said that the previous set of tires lost grip. They changed to a new set of tires and had much better grip on the rollers. I can look at the magazine when I get home and quote them if you wish.

I think the 590.5 was the WHP, and then after you see the whp it auto-corrects and gives the SAE at the Crank which was the 621.5. The car is suppoed to have 620hp so it makes perfect sense.
