Ugh. This sucks. I went from a fully modded S2000 and motorsport Elise to a gawdamn Sprinter and $12,000 bucks. I hate driving slow cars.

Ok, I do not know what is going on but I recently purchased the SKYLINE GT-R V.spec II and its power spec was shown as 276hp @6800rpm. The car is shown at 321hp @ 7500rpm in my garage. I do not have any problems with this but I did not do anything to it. Is this a goof?

Yeah, I think it's something like that.

On an unrelated matter...

The best I got out of 7 laps on the Cote D'Azur was 1'39.055 in a NSX Type R in the amateur Type R races. How did you guys do?

There is a gentlemen's agreement between Japanese manufacturers that no production car will have more then 276hp. This "agreement" was designed to keep the streets of Japan safe. In reality all sportscars in Japan are under rated in power. All of those bad boys crank out at least 295hp- 300hp.

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew there was a reason for that.
