Sorry bud. Show me some literature that says 250 Wheel Horse Power and I will believe you. I have a feeling I'll be waiting for a while.

It seems it was you who thought you knew everything. I told you that you were wrong, I even spelled out wheel horse power. You didn't believe me nor did you look to see why you might be wrong. You even posted a link to a thread which describes the difference between whp and bhp.

No biggy aloxide. Just a typo, dude. But, to tell you the truth I WISH I had 250whp.

Not everything.....but definitely the difference between whp and bhp. Don't use your age as a handicap.....there are plenty of 17-18 year olds that impress me with their intelligence everyday. So you got flamed on this one.....you'll live. Besides you may have learned two things today:

1) when someone questions a statement you've made....stop and think about it, maybe even go back and fact-check before responding with a wise-*** comment.

2) the difference between whp and bhp (hopefully you googled these terms)
