I myself believe it outputs more than 480hp despite what the
president of Nissan Technical Center North America assure us of. Anyway, i'd like to see someone taking that VR38 engine for some real crank measurements and to see what it's really losing through the drivetrain. I'm very curious.
Ultra-low friction bearings aside
