Anything used for measurements is in accurate and only as good as the person using it. Human error occurs with everything. To say a mustang dyno sucks simply because it gives a lower reading than other dynos doesn't sound like an educated statement. They call it the heartbreaker for that reason. Sure, egos will be hurt, but then again just seeing the cars that are going to be on them, 1000+ whp supras, will make everyone a little envious.

Free food=get there early. I'll be there around 11.

how are dyno readings 'human error'? plus, if this dyno is giving hp readings that aren't consistent with all the other dynos, why use this one?

Here's an example: say I was to weigh myself on 2 different scales, the liklihood of each scale giving me the exact same weight is not too high. The scale serves as a tool. It gives you a starting point to measure progress from. Now apply to measuring whp

I'm the red one with pure black wheels, a little lowered. I don't think I've seen another red 8 around here to be honest...

I park in the HSC lot next to the hospital on east campus, but you probably don't see me much cause I'm at school at weird times, usually in/out at 9AM/11PM.

You'd be surprised how fast you can take Sheep Pasture Rd at midnight in an RX8 lol...

Anyone with a Brilliant Black Rx8 looking for a Seibon KS II CF Hood and Trunk. I'm looking to swap. Only issue is that when I got my engine replaced they left the Car out in the sun for 2 months so the CF is a little faded.

Looking for 225$ Plus your stock hood and trunk.

lol, I see how it is... I gotta come on RX8club to find out what my man is planning for the week, huh? *sigh*

I'm relatively free, so if Andrew makes it out, I probably will too. Won't be in the Miata though; my baby is undergoing some transformations, and will have a very different face pretty soon.
