They didn't cut the throttle. They backed it off after full power was made. Have you ever seen high powered cars on a dyno before? You will see the same thing happens. I drive a Landrover, there's always a bus ticket in the glove box. [emoji23][emoji23]

Rolls Royce would only pass an engine off as fit for service after it produced it's claimed output running for an hour non stop,Jaguar ran it's super charged V8 for 24 hours at it's redline before passing it,how many of these high poo engines would hold together if subjected to the same treatment?,the fact they cut the throttles really really gives you your answer.

How long has it been since RR or Jag made an engine??? And how puny was the power per cc??? (not to mention the fact this is a one-off custom/race engine - which is usually built to last 1 race).

Admit it Pat, you are just jealous :D If it had a pommy badge you would be raving about how good it was...

Come on isuzurover,who designed and built the GT40?????. Pat

Got you buddy :p. Pat
