That said, the real goal should be, 12.5 second quarters, staying above 1g, improving torque response and building a lightweight platform with grippy tires and wide wheel width... Which hp number does it? That's a secondary issue.

I said is much in another post and agree 100%, but HP sells cars, here in America and Nissan isn't selling crap. It's the same reason all these forumites froth at the mouth over the GT-R's mid-2's 0-60. They love the numbers game, even though that's not at all what the car is about in the least.
