They don't. They have prototype cars that the engineers to nutz on, and then back off to like "normal way over priced ugly junk with nothing special about it."
Oh, and mph had almost nothing to do with the engine horsepower and everything to do with tuning, gearing, and vehicle weight. Those 32v heads might flow a ton but that just means I can run a smaller cam with that turbo and make awesome low end grunt. Then there's the like 2400lbs which takes less work to move than something that weight 1000lbs more (less work = less energy = less power). Don't forget the transmission, with the 6 speeds and like 3.73's out back I'd bet I'd get 16city/30highway. The highway would be effected by the cars aero and which tires I choose. Trust me, hp does NOT = gass guzzler. The c5 vettes are a perfect example.
