depends on a few factors - it would have a standard figure from the factory but then all the killerwasps escape over the years.

It'd need to be put on a dyno to find out.

More then that i would say, if it has been well looked after it would have close to the full 190kw. I got my SSV with 80k on the clock and it was putting out 210kw ATW which is the same as a brand new car would get.

190kW is at the flywheel, not the rear wheels, so hard to compare a dyno result with a manufacturer data sheet.
Since you loose around 20% at the wheels, it would make around 150kW at the wheels when new so 140-150 after 94.000 looks pretty good.

Yes im well aware of that and i think your missing the point, when a brand new SSV gets around 210rwkw and my car with 80k on it got the same 210rwkw it shows that a well looked after car does not lose much power over time.

I didn't miss the point but the OP was most lkiely talking about 140-150RWkw, and not kw, hence the possible confusion.
Or maybe not, but then, where are these figures coming from? Apologies if this is the case ;-)
