Nope. She's nearly 50 years old.

don't think SMD is quite 50 yet (tho I could be mistaken ????)

She's 48 to be exact. 49 on the 28th February.

I would actually add 35/40 bh to the hub figure to get an estimated flywheel figure , but as people have said on here getting a flywheel figure is always a guess as the only way to get a proper flywheel figure is to take the engine out and dyno it on a engine dyno;

 

 

Mark,

If a zed had 700bhp at the hubs, would we still add 35/40bhp or would it be more? (i.e. 10%).

What would make it lose more than 35/40HP? If the drive train is the same then the losses would be the same as the it requires the same force to move it. All this talk of percentages is madness. However, you could lose more in real terms if you had a beefed up drive train that zapped more power

 

That does sound like it could be right.
