The 7th Gen SI was rated@ 197 but was under rated. It really made somewhere between 210-215hp or ~ 180-185whp.

The current 8th Gen SI is rated @ 201 but it may or may not be as under rated. I'm sure it makes more torque but I preferred the last Gens 8200 rpm redline.

The shifter / clutch operation is phenomenal and for 4 cyl in sounds good in the ^ RPMs. It's a pretty fun car to drive. The main reason not to get one isn't the HP but the FWD.

If SI's power train was dropped in a RWD chassis weighing no more than ~2800lbs could have a lot of potential. Well then again that was basically already done with the S2K it's just too bad they're not made anymore due to the HP wars.
