They do not claim it "belts out" at 170 hp. They claim that the
engine produces 170 hp, which is a very different matter.

report actual, rear wheel horsepower instead of some technical,
immeasurable number. Car & Driver and Road & Track ready to
stand tall for this for a change???
I guess it would cut down on advertisements $$$ for automatics. :(
