makes you wonder why ford made the CSVT with '195'hp to begin with. its a psychological thing almost. 200hp sounds much better than 195. that is most likely why they bumped it to 200, if in fact there is a 'real difference', and not just marketing hype. I see this kind of thing all the time as I work in marketing and advertising.
like the other guy says, driver skill.
I used to race my friend at the track in his 200 hp prelude. I had a 165 hp probe, but I would always pull away from him. He shifted too soon, which of course robs you of the high rpm power when the cams change.
