And you won't find them nor I in Redline Time Attack in 2011 either as RTA has moved all their events to the West Coast because they are some sell-outs../rant.

Hey Paul, why not just hold the VSC button down for a few seconds while stopped with the engine running like Cory and I have been doing for years now... or try the Camry method instead... LOL!

Understand now why it's being said that it's underrated?

Taking a DynoJet into account here:

DynoJet
tC 1
Factory = 160 (162)hp.
Dyno = 130-140whp

tC 2
Factory = 180hp
Dyno = 180whp

It's not that hard to follow. If you want to go by the PTuning Dyno Dynamics dyno fine, but same thing still applies when you factor in the % difference between the DD and the Dynojet.

has there even been a Dynojet graph of the tc2 posted? or are you just speculating?

DynoDynamics (ptunings dyno)
tC 1
Factory = 160 (162)hp.
Dyno = 140-146whp (according to ptuning on post #25 on their dyno)

tC 2
Factory = 180hp
Dyno = 159whp (again on ptuning dyno)

so how do you still figure its underrated?

seems like on their dyno the tc2 only has 13-19 more HP which would mean its not underrated.

Current Issue of DSport Magazine. Full Article including dyno test on a DynoJet dyno. Numbers tested 180.11whp. Est. Crank HP 200-211hp.

PTuning dyno = roughly 15% lower reading than Dynojet dyno's (posted back on the subsequent pages). 159whp PTuning dyno + 15% = 180ish whp Dynojet.

I choose to agree to disagree after this point if you still making an opposition about it. Lets move the debate forward and look to see what a boosted tC2 with PTuning surgery can do.

Yep, no need to "speculate" when it's already posted.

^since we dont have Dsport Mags TC1 dynojet numbers from the very same dyno, it cant really be used as a comparison.

im taking ptunings dyno as a better comparison since they have dynoed both in very similar conditions (being theirs is indoors and climate controlled)

you cant deny they are in a better position to compare dyno numbers, which means the tc2 is not underated.

again, no sense in arguing since i will never own one and even if it does have 200+ crank hp (like everyone seems to believe) its still slow, lol

looking forward to boosted numbers to make this bad-boy quick!
