Horsepower gauge
Have not seen this discussed.How does the horsepower gauge work? Suspect it works on an algorith with rpms,boost etc based on factory average data. Probably not very accurate.Not a biggie.Just a little factoid.I probably have watched gauge only once or twice in a year but ran across it recently again and was wondering.One thing I do know Is l probably have not seen anything close to the upper numbers on a public road especially in cold weather with the summer tires.

The engine software knows how much torque the engine is making based on engine parameters. Simple calc. from there: engine torque x RPM / 5252 gives you HP. I'm with you, my eyes are usually on the road when I am trying to get into the upper half of the band.

REDNECK HP GAUGE: put a soft ball on a string and hang it from the T bar in a C3. When it hits the passenger in the head - cornering is good, when it's against the back of the T bar the engine is running well. When it hits the windshield the brakes are working well.
Also does weather: If it's wet it's raining.
