The HP wars are alive and well in the sport compact market. The Si with nav is only a few thousand dollars away from a base 350Z with over 300hp or a WRX.
Either way, Honda could have still claimed 197HP and yet had it put out 8% more and since these cars are bound to get dynoed they would have had real happy customers on their hands when their cars dynoed near crank HP levels.
At this point I am just doing this:
If you guys seriously believe they left that much on the table with all their engineering might then good day to ya! I'll just go back to building Le Mans winning cars with all the other idiots like me.
