As I said in my intial post, I was not about to take these figures seriously. I think it is reasonable to assume a figure in the vecinity of UP TO 220hp (only a 10% increase) given that standard car generates at least 200hp with considerably lower compression.

...maybe even down to 8-10% loss
Wil are you serious? I know Porsche are a remarkable engineering company, but I have not heard of drive train losses lower than about 15%. 8% would have my car producing only 185hp and my car has significantly more grunt than a standard 180hp SC (and I have done a back to back comparison).

Anyway, it all makes for an interesting discussion huh?
