How does “around” $27,500 - $7,500 = “as low as” $19,000?

I’m not bothered by a grand, just noting math is a real thing.

201 horsepower... that's the highest of anything in my fleet by almost 40hp LOL
Top speed of 90 is good, but I have regularly seen people on the highways here hit that as a pack of cars so I'll be finding out how the limiter works very quickly.

201 HP is awesome. To put it in perspective the small Toyota 22R engines produced 105 HP
