Ok, so if the SS and Supra have near identical acceleration and grip...

SS dynos around 405 wheel hp and weighs about 3700 lb = 9.136 lb/hp

We know the Supra weighs about 3375 lbs, to get 9.136 lb/hp takes 369 hp AT THE WHEELS.

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.
