    Does anyone have any power figures for a 456? Mine feels a bit sluggish and only gets 310 bhp at the wheels - around 370 at the engine - is this about right?

    The Tipo 116 that is equipped on the 456 is listed as having 436 hp stock. Dynamometers vary in their readings from model to model, but expect 15-20% drivetrain and friction loss to the wheels, which gives around 350-370 to the wheels. If you've dynoed your car at 310, I'd say it's down on power - perhaps a timing issue?
