Example....which sounds better: "The new 426 HP Camaro SS!" or "The new 360 HP Camaro SS!".

If this TT had nearly 500 HP...they would be touting it big time.

My mistake I thought Jay had said 420 hp at the wheels.

Yea, a 426hp sounds a lot cooler than 360hp, lol.

Buy the car that you would most like to get beat in. The other guy will always be faster.
