Those are pretty good numbers. Is it common for car manufactures to under rate horsepower? This was also the case on the SRT-4 they claimed 215 but I here they're closer to 230.
They changed the SRT4's rating the second year it was out. There were various reasons given for its underrating, including that is was dyno'd at the wheels instead of the engine.
Turbo engines can have larger variances from the factory than N/A engines as well.
