I strongly believe "about the same" power as rumored here on the forum is entirely unreasonable for the new car. Also make a spreadsheet yourself exploring the shape and amount of peak torque. You'll quickly see exactly why I keep saying what I said above in post #14.

There are no excuses . Google spreadsheets are free, recall that this is always exactly true:

HP = torque x rpm / 5252
