Our cars weren't overrated, if anything I'd say they were underrated. The article done by Motortrend (I think it was motortrend, most all of us have read it) that stacked the R/A with the Sentra SE-R spec V revealed dyno numbers that put the R/A above the Sentra on the hp figures. Nissan claims the sentra was putting out 175 at the crank, so either nissan was overrating their car or mitsu was underrating the R/A, take your pick. I prefer the latter as it makes my car sound cooler.
