+1. They're 215 bhp. But don't let that worry you. It's a great car and there are a ton of fairly cheap mods than can be done to add some serious power.

+1+1 Dont get caught up in HP ratings. Low End Torque is nice. And as metioned they respond well to mods. 200rwhp horsepower is easily attainable with a few breathing improvements.

power to weight ratio is very important as well as suspension for weight transfer... a 300rwhp car can easily loose to a 200rwhp car anyday based on suspension setup.
