Sir-Mix-A-Lot Was Right: Fonda Didn't Have a Motor In the Back of Her Honda!
The results are in for automakers using Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards for rating their cars' horsepower. And this is no good news for those of you who bought that Toyota Camry with the expectation of a hotter-than-hot-sake 210 hp. In reality, you may be feeling a bit like you just swallowed some raw shrimp, cause that hp just dropped down to a piddly 190.
But brother, if you bought yourself an already hot as a slider burger straight off the grill Dodge Viper, consider yourself lucky. Because, my friend, you just got a free upgrade of scorching hot fries in the 10 hp upgrade you'll be receiving.

man this must be spam. do they not know anything about cars when the write this shit? 10hp upgrade when buying a dodge viper? upgrade from what, buying what a corvette?

mines FWD but it's still lighter than a fat ass Camry and it's not really an eagle so it's ok. the reason i'll be stuck at that HP is because after i spend $5000+ to get the new engine, tranny, and full exhaust (headers back) installedi won't have the $1500 to buy the support mods that i am going to want to throw a big 16g turbo in it. but it will all pay off in the end once i have it done my little FWD monster will be so much fun.

you're absolutely right. 210 whp in a DSM is going to be much more fun than in a camry.
