OK, how about 370 at the wheels then.

396 rwhp?
Should we expect to see your signature graphic scheme and Autometrics logos on her soon?

The 997 is definatley a very nice ride. It isn't going to be much quicker than a Grand-Am 996gt3 on the straights but with all the new suspension geometry it should be bettter in the corners. We were a little disapointed with the power but I guess it basically is still the same engine as before. Can't wait to put some nice headers on and get the engine broken in and see what she will do 
Hope it will be a GTO KILLER!!!!!

Geez Leh, I hope that it makes 390 rwhp. That would put it around 440 at the flywheel. I know that it was an optimistic reading, but my car was dyno'd at 387 rwhp, and Rockitman's GT3 right before it was 371. If you figured that the dyno was 7 or 8% high, his would be right at factory specs, and mine would be stronger, but that means that your 997 cup car only has about 30 more hp, and that seems low.
