Correct. My old road dyno software came in right at what old Mustang dynos read. That's the only reason I believed those numbers to be more "realistic". But who cares in the end. I do think its odd that Subaru rates the new STI's at 305bhp but they only make about 200whp on the lower reading dynos. To the same degree, however, the 09+ WRX's are rated lower than the STI but make more whp. Manufacturer ratings just don't seem to be all that accurate.
