the new body maxima when first released was rated at 265hp, now its 255hp.

Why?

the ratings got lower because the testing was standardized


lots of manufacturers were doing HP testing with no accesories or with non stock exhaust, giving falsely high numbers

mainly japanese manufacturers got hit with HP losses (on paper), the Vette actually gained a couple ponies.

the engines are the exact same, the performance is the same

the testing method is different
