manufacturer hp ratings are never really spot on anyway. they either fudge 'em to look a little more powerful, like most mid-level Japanese "sporty" cars (not talking about the skyline or supra here, think civic si) or they rate 'em way low like the dodge neon (which is rated at 220hp... but that's actually what some magazines claim they get at the wheels). or maybe they all just suck at doing the test well.
but, these are made in germany, right? they may be underated for hp. german cars tend to be near the hp at the wheels that they claim on their spec's for flywheel hp.
anyway, even if the 4 has just 120hp at the wheels (rear wheels too, which is sporty) they'll feel quick. those things are so damn light.
do auto makers actually put their cars on a dyno- or do they just guestimate according to certain equations?
i really don't know.
