Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember hearing that automakers try to stay under the 380 hp range (or somewhere around there) if they can because of some tax that they or consumers would have to pay. For example I think this is why the G8 is "de-tuned" to 361 hp even though its 6.0 liters (or it could be because of the cylinder deactiviation on the G8. We now know why the L99 has lower hp #'s). I could be and I probably am way off.
