b555 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It's going to be a thriller.rumors are that dinan has put in some extra effort into their bmw engine.But how stupid do the DP engine mancufacturers think we are when it comes down to the horsepower output?these are some figures from the manufacturers:the ford,pontiac & lexus engines were producing 500 hp in 2006.the 2006 porsche 3.8L V6 was producing around 510hp.in 2007 & 2008 all 3 came with newly designed engines.
2008 ford 5.0L V8-500hp.but in reality it's producing around 530 hp.
pontiac & lexus 5.0L V8-500hp.but again in reality they are producing around 520-530hp.bmw V8 is also producing around the 525hp.now porsche is claiming that it's 2009 4.0L V6 with 1st generation DFI is still only producing 510 hp.but my porsche source told me that the engine is producing more that 520 hp.they may their reasons for doing this,but the numbers are already out.but i can't wait for the race to start.saturday night 2230h CET on eurosport2.
