2. Some of these cars dynoed significantly higher, and some dynoed at factory ratings, so this point is still disputed. I agree though, it is quite fishy.

3. They aren't going for less than $100K here, and yes the LC is a major problem. Even if it was $78K, for $10K more (which if you can afford 78 you can afford 88), you can get a 600hp Viper that is higher performing.. but the thing about the viper is.. you have to drive it! No automatics! (kudos for any supercar owners and car companies who opt for the 6 on the floor.. the best way to do it.)
