It's got a relatively small turbo that is only running 7.25 psi of boost.
(Insert comment about magazine racing being pointless here)
C&D tested one and ran 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and the 1/4 in 15.2 sec @ 91 mph.
Given that the weight is now up to 2540 lbs I'd say the 178 hp rating is pretty accurate.
