Learn something new every day here. I had no clue that Rolls Royce manufactured a SUV. Given it's a Rolls, it seems about 2-3 meters too short.

506 hp at the wheels, estimate 600 hp crank.
I also did a dyno last year, before I moved to 94 stage 2 ... stock on 91 pump (but with my full bolt on intake and exhaust) made 375 hp at wheels. We figure the larger intake and free flow exhaust added around 30 to 35 hp. So we figure bare stock would be around 340 hp (wheels) for this car. Compare that to the advertised crank hp of 405 ... I'm losing 16% from crank to wheels due to AWD.
So that's how we figure 505 hp at wheels is just over 600 hp crank (add 16% loss back).
Anyhow, the E30 tune increases power by 50% ... this car is a beast now given that power and torque. Looking to make high 10s at the strip on Friday (full weight). I know there's much faster cars ... but that at least puts me in respectable territory.Napoleon Prestige Pro 665, XL BGE, Lots of time for BBQ! -
Is that high 10s for 0-60 or quarter mile? Or some metric BS?

I hope this is a joke; no judgement implied. 🙃PeteSliver said:Is that high 10s for 0-60 or quarter mile? Or some metric BS?

If he’s at the strip it’s 1/4 mile

@GrateEggspectations thank you, but I’ll do the judging around here.

To give you an idea, even domestic, relatively cheap, completely stock, street-destined muscle cars are hitting the 4s mark these days.

Much larger than it looks in the picture but it is shorter than the typical Rolls. Next time I see the royal blue one I’ll try and grab a picture. From the front it looks really nice.Snellville, GA -
I'm quite sure the 4's quoted above are for 0-60 mph and internal combustion powered cars. But this would not be the first time I have missed the mark...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Haha, high 10's for quarter mile. The 0-60 should be 3 seconds or just below that. I'm hoping for a 0 to 60 of 2.9 s.PeteSliver said:Is that high 10s for 0-60 or quarter mile? Or some metric BS?Napoleon Prestige Pro 665, XL BGE, Lots of time for BBQ! -

so far im still knocking on that black lacquered grand piano wood trim right now theres a tyre pressure sensor not always functioning, first problem in two years. i did replace the third brake light two years ago so.....maybe the race is off. i did notice that cornering up near 150 is a little iffy during the first wave of covid so maybe that delorian has a leg up

Saw a Rivian in the wild this evening. Guy was flying and it was dark, got best pics I could (passenger took them). In person the truck is very underwhelming, but the headlights are sweet.
