Yeah but it gets the correct 0-60 wrong, it should be 7.1 for a stock 2.5 they give about 7.3 or 4 from memory
I think an interesting thing would be to see how the reduction of weight would affect the figures, its easier tio remove extra weight,, for say a track day car, than to boost the power output, which is where beefing up a 2.0 twinny comes in..
If due to mods or remaps etc a twinny, a 2.4 diesel and a V6 had a race the twinny, being lighter would win, the V6 second and the diesel last, all else being =
If you mod a car and can see feel or measure any improvement, then it must be quite an increase in BHP - My exhaust makes about 1 mph difference on my 1/2 mile sprint, doesn't seem a lot, but a 117bhp picasso is only 14mph slower than my 2.5 (pre new exhaust) and my mate with a 900 cc kawasaki is now only 30mph faster than my 156, and he has a huge power to weight advantage, but he does have traction problems, and keeping the front wheel down
