Mmmm if you don't kill the dog it gives you the opportunity to follow the bugger home to kill the owners...

I've been lucky - missed a kangaroo by a second on one trip home. Recently ran over a koala bear that fell out of a tree... Luckily he was only small and went in under the front guard near the nose cone..

It took weeks to get the residue of the undercarriage...

Dogs and wildlife...

That's really bad news Paul.

If you can find the owners of that dog you could probably get them to cover your dammages. As the owners of the dog they are legaly responsible for it and it's wherabouts. It should have been locked in their yard or on a lead.

Cheers

Sorry to hear about the damage - that's just one of the reasons I don't like pets - glad to hear you're ok though. I agree with Mike, the owners are resonsible and you should seek restitution from them.

On to your power figures. I agree with Sonny, I don't believe that is a stock engine. A stocker will usually make around 180 - 190 rwkW's, with some up to 200 (it's very rare that you'll crack 200 unless it's been tuned before and the owner doesn't know about it). Getting over 250 at the wheels is also extremely rare, there are only couple of stockers that I know about that have achieved this.
It is possible that his Dyno was giving incorrect readings, due to the fact that it did fail during the session.

OUCH, that damage looks a little costly to me. Glass doesn't always show the full extent of structural damage.

One hell of a way to get a better fuel system.

I agree with Plums, maybe a happy dyno on that day. They are great tuning tools as they at least give you a baseline and where you finished. As to final numbers....take em with a grain of salt.

Hope all goes well with the repair.
