I guess they can all run a little different. Earlier this year there were 2 V's, one a wagon, 1 a coupe. I ran 12.36 (had to get off the line super easy to not spin tires) and I was stock then. The wagon ran 12.6 and the coupe 12.5. I didn't see them run so I don't know what happend but talked to both of them.

On average stock manual Vs put down anywhere from 460-475 rwhp/rwtq on average.
On average stock auto Vs put down anywhere from 445-460 rwhp/rwtq on average.
As with any car there are exceptions to the rule. Some manuals will dyno close to 490 rwhp or lower than 460 rwhp, but those are averages I typically see before mods. Most owners typically start off with a simple cheap cold air intake and pick up 15-20 rwhp and about 35-40 rwhp if that cold air intake is combined with a basic tune.

Unfortunately I am not going to be looking at anything right now since I am in Italy working. Checked out Capri last weekend (amazing) and will be in Prague this weekend. Rough life I tell ya! 
I will certainly keep you in mind though if the day comes.

Here is a video I shot of Redbulljnky vs a V about 1.5 years ago in South Florida. Mods of both cars in the description under video. It was hot and both cars suffered from it down on some performance but the V was still getting it.

Haha...that would be nice. I owned both for 3 months, but it felt silly to have both since they both served the same purpose and did the same thing + my insurance was a little too much paying for two sports sedans and another daily drive thread.
