The number the manufacturers tout is measured at the crank (bhp), and what we're talking about is how much you're putting down at the wheels (whp).
You lose a lot of HP in the process of putting it to the pavement. For example my 06 6MT is advertised as having 298 HP, but put it on the dyno and you'll be lucky to get 240 whp. More like 235. Even after all my mods and a tune I'm only putting down 266.

Last I checked the 5at and 6mt had the same HP rating.
Only thing that had different ratings in 03/04 was the sedan vs coupe (260 - 280)
No?

You're right. 260 for the sedan and 280 for the coupe.

A manual transmission does not give you 15 extra horsepower..
They both come with the same HP and the 03 sedans were UNDER RATED at 260 hp. Same motor same everything, it still makes the same power as the 280 rated G's.
In fact, say an 04 MT coupe races an 04 MT sedan with the same driving capabilities.. The sedan would be faster due to it weighing less.
Difference between MT and AT is the gear ratios.. MT-3.5 Final Drive, AT-3.3 Final drive..

Is your SN supposed to mean Agent Failure?

I take coupes all the time, they may look a little nicer, but I'm faster and still have a useful back seat/trunk
Speed doesn't make up for the lack of mods there is for the sedan though
