Just some interesting math for everyone:

Assuming consistent drive train loss:
200(bhp)/165(whp) = 1.212
1.212*320(whp) = 387.878(bhp)
2400(lbs)/387.878(bhp) = 6.187 lbs/hp

Porsche GT3 RS 4.0:
2998(lbs)/500(bhp) = 5.997 lbs/hp

So while 320 whp doesn't sound like much, this car has a power to weight ratio that is nearly equivalent to a Porsche GT3 RS 4.0, unless my math is way off.
