stock the car had more power than manufatur claimed... happens all around the world for different reasons. In the early 70´s normal in the USA to underrate the muscle cars for insurance reasons, sometimes manufactures underrate cars to go around new crash tests with stronger engine versions. Porsche did that once with the 968 Turbo S..they did not want to do a new series of crash tests for a 15 cars limited special edition... so they rated the power at 305hp... not a single car left the factory with less than 350hp.
Japan has the 280hp limit and it is well known that many JDM models in the passed had up to 340hp and more..
