yeah that's why i don't really agree with how the hp numbers are calculated now, sometimes pretty misleading and everyone has their own ways.

personally i don't think the gs450h will be anything close to the e55 at all. it's just v6 plus a hybrid, i don't think it can compete with almost 500hp on the e55
