Default How much whp is the 5sp sc300 making?

How much power are theses cars putting to the ground? I know these cars are pretty heavy but I was expecting a little better acceleration from 225 hp.

My current car , a bmw is rated at 240 hp , it made 213whp and 217 torque stock, but its also 400ibs lighter which I realise makes a difference.

400lbs is a huge difference... that's where the majority of the difference probably lies

Mine's 100% stock and I just dyno'd for fun beause I was bored to death at work (that owns a dyno) and it made 188whp/185tq. Not bad, but normal I'd say. I looked at another profile of the only other SC that's dyno'd with us and he made 184 after some leaning out on a SAFC putting it into the mid high 12 a/f's. So I'd say 180 -185 is pretty normal for a stock SC300.
