If I were to read that article not knowing the power output of the N52, I would guess just by reading that is makes 300 HP at least.
The honda K20 makes 200 HP from a 2 liter, why cant the N52 with far superior technology than the K20 make 300 HP from a 3 liter, inline 6 mind you, a better balanced engine than an inline 4.
I just don't get it. Either detuned from the factory, or something isn't right.
