Did I gain any RWHP?

I say BAN HIM!!!

Amen. Lock this thread and fire up the ban-o-matic.

While 99% of this thread has been a bunch of name calling Bull S***, most of the people calling it a stupid question put very little thought into it why it was wrong. In BuffaloZone's defense he simply asked that by decreasing drag, does it affect power. I don't see that as such a stupid question.

If power = (force*distance)/time what part of the equation is effected by drag. If you are standing on the throttle, force remains constant. drag reduces the amount of force required to move the car so with the same amount of force distance is either increased or time is decreased, leaving power output the same, but overall performance would be increased But I doubt there is enough drag reduced by changing the bumper.

So, the answer is still no, but at the very least I think he put a little more thought into his question, than I think most (not all) put into their answers.

that has been explained to him several times. instead of understanding that, he turns around anyones statements and gripes on some point that was irrelevent. notice he has never come back to mention his original question...all he has done is turned people's responses into something about nascar and brake rotors. Twice i've explained that drag and power are independent, but instead he has taken HALF of my statement, quoted it, and said something stupid about kyle petty or nascar. The original question is no longer the problem, it's the poster's ignorance and stubbornness. Unfortunately I have nothing better to do than post in this thread

Yes, it's a "subject line", but if someone actually took the time to read the *text* they'd figure out real fast that I wasn't actually concerned with HP...at all. That's why HP wasn't mentioned even ONCE during the entire original body of text:

"Am I the only one that actually prefers the retro look of the original grille?"
"Plus being smaller, I hope to have less 'drag' (to help offset the giant wing)."
"The main reason for removal was actually because I didn't like the curled-up Cobra lip..."


Yeah. See. That's what I thought.

Then why post with a misleading subject line? What you meant to ask and what you've been trying to spit out for the past 7 pages is irrelevant to your original topic. So tell me, is ignorance bliss?

I cannot believe this thread is not locked. Good god, this freak is eating this stuff up.

Hey...Buffalo jagoff

Dysfunctional <--- Did I spell that good enough for you?

 

[BuffaloZone]

dude....you asked if your bumper increased your RWHP. you suck at life, get over it

Dude..you got snagged up, tripped up and hung all up in the "Subject Line". Perhaps you should have tried to comprehend the entire body of text instead of letting the "Subject Line" get you so tangled up...and then you wouldn't be mudding up your shorts.

 

[BuffaloZone]

Hey...Buffalo jagoff

That made you seem a bit insecure and unsure of your abilities.

BTW...
If you put a "strain" on an engine, do you think that "strained" engine will put less HP to the ground?

 

[BuffaloZone]

Then why post with a misleading subject line?

To see if someone could actually comprehend the actual entire body of --text-- of the original posting?

What you meant to ask and what you've been trying to spit out for the past 7 pages is irrelevant to your original topic.

See. You just proved my point. In my entire original text I --never-- mentioned HP in the body of the text, but I did mention "drag" and said it was mainly a *looks* issue.

Good morning.

Now we're up to 3.8 of your posts for every one of mine.

 

[BuffaloZone]

No "faster" is not "quicker".

That's like saying "fast" isn't "quick".

Entry: fast
5. swift: quick: speedy

Most of the time when someone talks about a car being fast, they are referring to top speed. Quick is getting from point A to point B quickly.

For example...A car that does 0-60 in 4.0 seconds but is only geared for 100mph top speed isn't very fast. But, it's pretty quick.

See?

I only read about the first page and a half of this horrid thread, so sorry if this has been brought up or if he got the smarts to clarify what the hell he was talking about.
The vast majority of your argument is based on the fact you know of a dyno that will factor in wind resistance ect... Given this fact, along with the fact that on any given day the same dyno with the same car, in the same conditions can give you results differing in 1-3rwhp... I would say your plan of going to this marvelous dyno to get your gains in rwhp from your bumper swap is The minimal gains in top end mph you would gain would hardly even warrent a change in the dyno. Granted your amazing dyno could notice a change in wind resistance and give you higher MPH #'s, but not RWHP #'s. You may have ment mph change when making this pos thread, but you stated rwhp change for some odd reason. On top of that you get into a mine is bigger arguement with everyone Ever heard of MustangWorld.com... sign up there!

 

[StngStr]

Uh oh...here comes the quotes and -- around all the words.

Bet he says:

"Ever heard of MustangWorld.com...sign up there!"

Sadly that place does have better tech articles than we do Stangnet needs to get on the ball with tech stuff man. Thats all this site is missing is some serious how to install this/that advice... HINT HINT!!!

 

[BuffaloZone]

Most of the time

Not all of the time...

 

[BuffaloZone]

I say BAN HIM!!!

Because you can't stop yourself from being controlled into responding on a thread that you said "END OF STORY" on?...

 

[BuffaloZone]

Amen. Lock this thread and fire up the ban-o-matic.

Good morning.

Yes...they will use up more rear wheel horsepower to turn them. So....WON'T change the power at the rear wheels.

You --JUST-- said that it would - "use up"/reduce rwhp.

Again... Will = Won't???

 

[BuffaloZone]

BuffaloToe says, "So you know about that place? Go there often?"

Liar. You seem desperate.

You can't keep up?

 

[StngStr]

I'm done with this kid. Good bye thread.

 

[BuffaloZone]

Do you think that if you put some *outside* "strain" on an engine...the engine will put just a tiny bit --less-- rwhp down to the ground? Can you convince yourself that a engine runnining on an engine stand going uphill in the back of a truck will make the same HP as it would make if it was actually "driving" the truck? Or that a happy little engine screaming freely on a nicely rolling Dyno is actually going to put the exact same HP right down to the ground...as the same motor out in the "real world", if that engine is being negated by an outside "strain"/*opposing* force when that engine is forced to work just a little bit harder, but it still just doesn't sound as stron' as it normally would under a controlled and ideal situation?
