The dynos were broke?

WTF? ford does it and your all about it. Honda does it and your like " its not underrated, even though the dynos are proving different, i say it isn't so so your wrong."




First off.. you don't have any idea what % hp you get to the wheels. No way of knowing unless you do a chassis dyno vs engine dyno.

Second.. I can easily see a company underrating a TRUE performance car, not a family sedan lol. No insurance company gives a shit if your car makes 240 or 270 hp. It's still a family sedan to them. Now, if your car had upwards 350-400hp, and parts were harder to get then a typical dime a dozen honda, then maybe they would care.
