Toyota isn't just understating their hp #s by a little, this is ridiculous. I think the car mfg'ers should be required to submit to SAE testing if they will sell cars in the US...
Recently I had a "335 hp" Audi A6 with the 3.0T engine keep up with me until the top of 2nd gear in my SS 1LE. WTF? Even with DCT and AWD I should have easily pulled away, but I had a only a couple car lengths at the top of 2nd.

I know an Audi guy and he dumped TONS of $$$ into his car to make it faster. It looks stock, though. I imagine he is not the only one.
