Re: gtechpro performance analyzer

The G-tech measures horsepower at the wheels not the flywheel.  The
published 165 hp is flywheel hp, hence the difference.  Also, the comparison
is valid since it was done with the same car, same g-tech, same weight..  If
you look on Scott m's page you will see the curb weight is 3350, I weigh
close to 200 lbs, so 3600 is actually pretty close.  The GVR on the door
jamb is well over 4000.
