Hmm.. I dont know, i dont think they will pay for the dyno if they are wrong. Maybe if you make court case, but nobody have tried that before for a dyno session.
It is ridiculous - you can not imagine how stupid I think it it's
Yes that is illegal. The government only trust the factory to "say good" for cars.
I think the laws is supposed prevent young guys in cheap twin turbo cars (examble) with to small brakes.
But why the hell do they not hire some people to check if the tuned cars are safe with brake and so on. Instead, they prohibit it all!
Yes.. They think less power and slower is more safe for the country
But there is some methods to get past the 20% rule:
- If the car factory, or the official car importer (Nissan Denmark) will say that the car can handle that power/engine.
- Get the car "TÜV Merkblatt 751" certified (brake, emission, dyno and stering is testet) - Cost around 10.000$
- Rebuild the cars to a more powerful model (Brakes, engine, suspension) and pay 180% in taxes to the government of the car's estimated value after the rebuild.
Then i can be road legal - not easy!
Wish i where born in US!
