it would only have full power if you replaced everything in that 100 years. and the fact that your not even mentioning how many miles or how the car was driven over those 100 years shows you really dont know what your talking about. you think an engine with 250,000 rough miles has the same HP as the same car with 10,000 clean miles? lol. come on bro. your argument is stupid and you know it.

i didnt delete anything.Originally posted by wnabeabeast View PostReally? Why did you deleted part about the compression ratio in my reply? Bro do you even know what is inside of an engine? or did you ever build one? Oh wait I know you watch top gear all the time right?
Tell you what you go ahead and watch the top gear some more learn about cars and come back and argue with us about how a 370Z convertible is comparabel to Ferrari .:thumup:
Actually I think I am done here. :)
i dont need to have built an engine to know how time and wear works.
what your saying is insane "100 years and the engine still has the same HP."
nobody ever said a Z is comparable to a Ferrari. your taking things out of context. a review made a comparison to make a point. nothing more.Last edited by Bouncer; 09-19-09, 11:55 AM.

This is for Bouncer and blm, dynoing the car is not the correct way the meausere the ENGINE hp, you can hook the engine to a dyno and get the correct hp but not the whole car the other correct way to measure the engine hp is compression and again if the engine has full compression I don't give shit if it is 100 years old it has full power.

take any 80's or 90's or early 00's ferrari, porsche, lambo etc.. to a dyno and see if it even comes close to its claimed HP #'s.Originally posted by wnabeabeast View Postif you want to see if your car puts out all the horses you get a compression test if it has the full compression ratios in every cylinder I don't give shit if the fucker is 100 years old it still has full power
its simply a fact that over time cars lose HP. i cant believe you don't understand this.

First I don't give a shit who he was agreeing with second read my post again I said porsches are known for burning a quart of oil every couple of months and still put out all that HP and if you want to see if your car puts out all the horses you get a compression test if it has the full compression ratios in every cylinder I don't give shit if the fucker is 100 years old it still has full powerOriginally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postjust a hint... he was agreeing with me dumbass. read the sarcasm..
and no, porsches are not known for "keeping all there horse power after almost a decade.

If you wanna find out if your engine lost power or not just go to any mechanic shop let them test the compression of the engine if it still pulls out the factory numbers it means you haver lost any power.

you should see my 1984 Ferrari. it has 1000 horse power now!!Originally posted by blm View PostI understand that a car that is maintained doesn't lose 100hp or anything of the sort, but the simple fact remains as you said; heat and friction wear down moving parts. You will lose compression regardless. OTher moving parts not even engine related wear and break as well. It's the nature of the beast. Break in is usually the first few thousand miles not the first decade.
