Japanese mfrs have a 'Gentelmans Agreement' on these numbers. Car and Driver tested one and they figured at least 350hp. Kind of like the the big block cars of the sixties. A Hemi only had 425hp by the factory specs. Any of the big blocks made more than advertised.

On a side note, rumor has it they will import them as an Infinity model in 2wd only. You can buy them used (or new) through the importer here in CA for a large sum of money, so ther is a market for them. I personally wouldn't pay more than $50k for one. It woud e a great summer car here.
