just wondering what the power diff was between the new ones and the old ones.. like how much faster is this new 08

 

I believe they have they have the exact same powertrain and fuel delivery setup.

 

Are you asking what the horsepower difference between the 07 model and the 08 model is?
That's like 160 on the 07 and 175 on the 08...

 

Who's claiming 15 more HP? When I bought my '07 the dealer said it had 170 or 175 HP at the crank. I have no idea where he got that figure...

 

i have looked all over the net for that info. found the o6 has 158.8 at wheel and like 79 ftlbs torgue. but found nothing on my 07.

 

THE O8' IS 17 LBS LIGHTER AND HAS ROUGHLY 10MORE HORSES AT THE REAR WHEEL THAN THE 07'.IHAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF READING UPON THEM BEINGS THAT IM GETTING READY TO BUY A NEW ONE. I WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE O7' BUT AFTER DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH I DO BELIEVETHAT I WILL GOWITH THE08'. ITS JUST SUPPOSE TO BE RETARDED BADASS.HERE IS A LINK THAT I FOUND THAT HAS A LITTLE INFO. AND A VIDEO TO WATCH.

THAT HP SOUNDS RIGHT...HE JUST DIDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE REAR WHEEL HP WAS...REAR WHEEL DOESN'T SOUND AS GOOD AS AT THE CRANK.

 

Wiki isnt a scholarly source.

 

Saturday I was at the stealership hoping to see one. But they said they were getting them in this week. I was talking to one of the parts guys about it and he told me its 17lbs lighter and a 20hp gain. I doubt thats at the wheel.
