We're there any models that no matter what car you run you come out with significantly less horsepower than you should ?

As said Spam's back roller (Supposedly the one that takes the reading) was bold. Tyres are going to slip, so I'd say it'd be down to tyres, pressure and how strapped down the car was to reduce slippage.

I agree.
Italic rollers are far more reliable. Even underlined rollers would have been an improvement.

Are you guys sure you want to go through the embarrassment of being eclipsed by a standard A2 again?

No, but it would put you back in your place
