^This is to balance up the car/tyre situation.
C55 has 367 bhp and 245 section rear tyres, or .67mm per horsepower.
The 996 has 300 bhp and 285 section rear tyres, or .95mm per horsepower.
Now I'm not going to modify the C55, so I need to bring the power in the other car up a little.
Our goal is .71 bhp/mm, if we could equal the C55 then I'd be over the moon - I suspect a lot will depend on whether we can turn it all the way to 9,500 rpm.
More than once, I would add.
