Remember, you can always do as VW owners used to do during fuel-mileage discussions-
Lie.
Some of those "500+ horse engine" owners- and/or their dyno operators- are likely doing this. I have several friends that have pulled their high-horse engines- one of which cost $26,000 and is still for sale I believe- and replaced them with more streetable engines. As one said, 'You don't need to spin 12" wide rear tires in 3rd gear to take your lady to Sunday Brunch. It ruins her appetite!"
