That's guy must have down syndrome then, because every single factory rating EVER is from the flywheel, and it's not going to show anywhere near that on a dyno.

I saw that show too. I don't know what they were doing or where they got their prices from.

Too bad Mitsubishi didn't put the 4g63t in one of those new Eclipses.
