machine. You keep missing the bigger picture here. While timeslips can vary quite a bit, the multitude of runs allows for a hell of a lot more samples to be taken and things to be analyzed. If people dynod their cars 30 or so times over the course of a summer, in various locations, altitudes and conditions then we'd very easily see a pattern of what a particular turbo setup offered. We'd be able to see the dropoffs for people at a certain elevation or perhaps a trend in lesser power in the hotter regions. All the basics, right? Unfortunately that is not the case as it is far too practical. Don't get me wrong, the dyno is FAR more specific in what it is showing in that you can analyze down to each hundred RPM, but that wasn't the initial point here. I'm not trying to say drag racing should be the end-all tool for determining a car. I think that may be what you're thinking but rest assured it is not. But the sheer AMOUNT of data from dragging, street acceleration, any other behind the wheel feeling/testing/etc far outweighs the very few dynos there are on record. Just speaking as a potential turbo purchaser in the near future, I sure as hell would want more information than what's out there already on Sport 600s. I wish there were more.
