Default New HP Regulations


I was reading my monthly car mags and saw an ad for the S stating 237hp.......I know that its still the same engine or w/e but does this mean that more and more cars are going to be underrated?? Are there going to be more SRT-4's or how I like to call them 'skittles' out there??

237HP is the new corrected HP rating for the 06 S2000 under the new SAE system.

Yeah I did mean EVEN MORE overrated then they are......I guess we're going to have to get used to the new rating

I saw the 2006 SI first rated at 200hp by Honda now advertised at 197hp all over ads.
