So if yours is pumping out 284hp at the wheels, and if my calculations are correct you have approx 329hp. Not quite 340, pretty close though!
Have you run your car down the quarter mile?
By the way, if this was released here I would have a deposit down straight away! Hot looking car, and nice sporty interior!
