On your typical dyno day, they just want to rattle through the cars so they can go home...
The whole idea of the Shootout is sound - so that it's DIRECTLY comparable to any other car on any other day... However, when the values are just overlooked, it's pointless, you can even see the correction values they're using at the bottom of the page to compensate for Barometric Pressure, Air Temp, Relative Humidity, Tyre Pressure...
Let me guess though, they didn't even think about tyre pressure, just shoved it on...
Depending on the way they strap it to the dyno you can get a good 10hp if you strap it really loosely!
I spoke to him about the numbers ect at the bottom of the graph and he did say all were set at 35 psi in the tyres!
