Re: 2006 Honda Ridgeline Specifications
AS far as I know, it is rated at 255 horse power on Regular grade gasoline. The ad in the paper is most likely a mistake.

Re: 2006 Honda Ridgeline Specifications
Yes, thanks for the correction. I was unaware of a bew testing procedure that would alter the horsepower rating.

Re: 2006 Honda Ridgeline Specifications
It's actually quite interesting. If you go to vtec.net, you'll see the changes for the new acuras. One of the thing is, that the TSX now has 205 SAE certified HP. Thing is that car probably has closer to 215 of the old hp(up fron 200 old hp). But to the average consumer: "oh it's only up 5 hp". The manufacturers are going to have an interesting time marketing this stuff...
