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
