G50 owners, do you think your car makes more than the suggested 276hp as per the gentlemens agreement?

And if so, how much do you think it actually has, if you had to estimate from actually driving it? I don’t really care that much about horsepower in the long run, I was just wondering because I know the gentlemens agreement was often secretly surpassed.

There are rumours all over the internet about how much power Centuries really make, but at least with my own car I don't think it's making any more than the factory numbers. It doesn't rev very high so horsepower is going to be lower than torque, relatively speaking (it's 340 lb/ft torque).
I have an Audi Q7 that weighs about the same as the Century - it has 360 lb/ft and the Q7 would definitely obliterate the Century in a drag race.
At some point I'll take it to a dyno day...

Yes, mine dyno’d at 303 wheel. It is entirely stock, 160,000 km. They are underrated, I think they make like 340 horsepower at the crank.
Check out the official dyno curve… don’t you think the engineers are sandbagging? See the unnatural power curve compared to a nice torque curve? Doesn’t add up.-Dave
