RUF claim 220kw at flywheel ???

March Fast Fours magazine has an add claiming that RUF have a 220kw RX8 at the flywheel.

They are using a Haltech ECU , Full Exhaust System , Cold Air Induction , Whiteline handling package.

http://www.ruf.com.au

They are situated in Sydney can someone check them out to see if they are for real??

cheers

Too good to be true but why not if they can prove it. I know as a fact people get about 30ps @ flywheel from the similar setup from full exhaust and ECU.

**EDIT** I think Michael wants someone to check them out and talk to them. I noted the address. See I have time on my conference. hehe

or not. They might have "estimated" the power from flywheel.

they may have estimated the power but if it dosn't feel any quicker then it's not 220kw anywhere and the estimate is BS and not worth our time and money.

I suppose that is why the only dyno that counts in the end is the long, straight, black one. :D
