There have always been several calculation formulas to determine horsepower. Although there was always a few variations on numbers, you had a reasonable idea of how the car would perform. Any sort of conformity and honesty reguarding horsepower ratings died long ago as the muscle cars were phased out. The Big Three as well as AMC, produced the highest horsepowers then and now with those Muscle cars. To use Saab as an example, do you think a Saab Vigen could match these cars in sheer power except maybe on a sales brochure? All auto manufacturers these days mislead the public with false horsepower ratings based on their own (favorable) ratings using their own systems. How many rating systems are used today? I'd say the exact number would match the number of auto makers in the world.
