Yep, thats certainly possible. If its less efficient, it will affect power to the wheels. It was still dynoing around 135-140rwkw though wasn't it..?
Don't underestimate the heat either, it was ridiculously hot on the track. Stav, there is a good thread at the moment on weather correction for timeslips on the V8Owners forums.
If my 14.291 @ 97.47 was in the same weather conditions as my previous PB (14.544 @ 95.02), it would have been a 14.0 @ 99mph....it was HOT!!!
I can't remember your exact timeslip Stav, but I took 15.2 @ 90mph, and in typical winter conditions, it would have been about 14.95 @ 92mph.
I dunno, it's all just speculation at the end of the day. But despite Walkinshaws avatar, i think still think you've got a pretty decent Wagon.
....it just needs more horsepower
....and you need to take it to the track more often ;)
