    Default Proof that rentals do go better...

    As some of you know, my Vectra was operated by Avis for the first 8 months/16k of it's life. Had the engine rebuilt due to an oil leak last month, so went with some trepidation to a rolling road day today.

    Got the car on the rollers and it pulled the following figures:

    Run 1:

    Max Power - Wheels: 121.7bhp@6254rpm
    Max Power - Engine: 159.7bhp@6416rpm
    Max Torque: 140.5lbft@3789rpm

    Run 2:

    Max Power - Wheels: 125.0bhp@6382rpm
    Max Power - Engine: 161.0bhp@6400rpm
    Max Torque: 142.9lbft@3786rpm

    Considering car is totally standard, with 21k on the clock, I'm quite pleased.

    I'll scan the graph and post it up here tomorrow for those interested.
