Wow, that's a lot of bang for the buck- especially out of a v6

Horse power listed is braking horsepower (bhp) which is horsepower at the flywheel with no accessories attached.
Do you have SAE Net horsepower rating?

I am excited to see the new Pontiac G8. I just read all the specs and information on an automotive news site. I have been anticipating this car for over a year now and I hope I can get it very soon. I want the V8 390hhp and race it at the track as well.
