please enlighten me on this subject...
why is it that the rx-8 that has 238hp only has about 180 whp and a Acura TSX that has 200hp has 179whp? just confused by that, and was wondering if anyone can teach me a thing or two about claimed HP and WHP. thanks

Check out these other threads (especially posts from the last week or two):

Paul Yaw has figured this out himself, and RotaryNews.com was told on the side by Mazda that this safe mode when dyno testing existed.
There are several other cars, notably the BMW M3, that have this same issue - when running on a dyno with the front wheels stationary, sensors think something is wrong and reduce max power at high rpm.

Interesting read the complete last thread he posted and someone still says that the G-Tech devices are still recording the same Dip in the dyno's where the HP drops like a rock. Gonna be real interesting to see, also Mazda had to have some way to test the in car HP, so I'm assuming there's a code to kill that function of the ECU from retarding the car like that.
