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...

That's what I'm saying, they are so underrated.
So upon further research check this out.
The bmw x3 m40i is listed at bmw to make 355hp. It's pretty much the same engine in the supra, maybe with some minor tweaks
Well Dinan dyno'd the car at the wheels and on the crank.
Damn thing made 445hp/440trq @ the crank
355hp/369trq @ the wheels.
x3 m40i performance data for reference
4308 lb
