Less power probably has something to do with the exhaust system bottling
things up, too. I think space is tight under the GC (transfer case, floor
plan, etc.), so the exhaust routing and/or size is probably not the best
for performance. Anyhow, can't most cars get their asses kicked by one of
those? I think I saw somene like C & D get a 15.7 out of one. You can
whoop up on all the little half-assed sports cars they build now. It sucks
to be them.
