Yeah hard to estimate flywheel power. Another way to consider it, C&D just picked up a long term BRZ and it trapped 102 mph in the 1/4 mile. By comparison, the S2000's they've tested usually trapped around 98-99 mph. Although not a perfect comparison (similar weights but the S2000 aero profile is worse), but seems safe to say the BRZ is making at least 240 hp at the flywheel, if not a bit more.
