Spec V- Specs, just confused

So im on my second spec V after crashing my first on the azusa mountains in cali, just been wondering. Specs online say its 200hp stock but on premium gas, so how much is it on something else besides premium? oh and on premium, im kind of a noob i know, is it 200hp to the wheels or like 200hp total?

kinda confusing to read. Its 200bhp not whp (wheel horse power)

I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume it would be slightly less on anything other than premium, which is why they put that nice sticker inside the fuel door that says "premium unleaded only." The car was designed to run premium.

i ran my car on 89 octane and it felt more bogged down. it didn't feel the same until i refilled with premium with a quarter of a tank left.

I believe the Spec V is a 171whp

that actually sounds like the regular se-r base model, our spec Vs get more i think

He's talking WHP not at the crank. We have 200hp at the crank minus a 15% drivetrain loss it's about 170WHP

dyno'd the car w/ a crank pulley and 2.5" exhaust and got 186whp SO.... its probly like a 172-180whp stock.
