RWHP = Rear wheel Horse Power. 1050 means thats the actual hp that the wheel has. The usual HP rating that we see in ads is HP at the cranckshaft. This cranckshaft rating is usually 15% more than the "actual" HP that you can actually use. The percent loss depends on things like AWD, FWD, RWD, transmission types, etc. 11.5 x26 " is the measurements of the tire and slicks are kind of like racing tires :)

Eh, who cares? MiataGirl has posted nothing but constructive things here, and it's not like anyone here is going to be in a position to go out with her or marry her or whatever.

If she's a girl, fine. If not, fine. You can't tell the sex of most of the members here by their names anyway.

Like Pyonir. She has everyone fooled ;)

lol So, so true.

Who cares? All I know is that there's another thoughtful, intelligent person to talk to on these boards. That brings it to about... twenty, total. The rest of you ninety-k or so... well... yeah. :p

Wheel spin is extreamly low when you run with 4 wheels being driven. All I am going to say.

Ok, I am going to say more: Parasitic loss sucks. and anyone know of a Dyno in the chicagoland area that can pull down 1000 HP and 1200 lb/ft?

that's pretty much what a dyno does. You drive your car/bike/thing with two wheels up on this ramp and the rear wheel goes on what looks like a big baker's rolling pin. Attached to the "rolling pin"are a bunch of sensors that are connected to a computer. It shows peaks of HP, torque, and speed.

Least she's a productive member of the forums. You just walk around like an old man with a cucumber up his @$$
