I have heard that Ford measures their kw figures without various ancillaries attached and Holden measures theirs with all compliance required ancillaries operating, hence a discrepancy of up to 20 kw in "real" power figures.
The ball is in your court........even though you have been ACED!!!!! |

Trying to have some fun here guys. In reality the Ford Figures are "pumped" and I was just looking for a reason / explanation. I believe nearly ALL other manufacturers follow the same guidelines for quoting power figures (similar to Australian Standardsf) except for Ford Australia......why? |

No He has a point.
He has proven that most holden owners dont try and start crap. And he has also demonstrated that like ford drivers, there is always a minority who need to satisfy some inadequacy by making stupid claims. Well done ACE.

Actually american engines are measured in imperial killawhats while australian engines are measured in metric kilowatts and you have to take into account the doppler effect when an american engine is placed in an australian car.
People with only one eye tend to have difficulty perceiving reality instead of fantasy. Blue shift creates an illusion that the power always appears to be lesser. Red shift creates an illusion that the power always appears to greater. This illusion is exacerbated by distance. The further your views are from reality the stronger the illusion....... |
