I figured it might, but WHY? I and others usually expect a decent power increase with an all new chassis and body. Body and power output changes usually go hand in hand. You know what i mean right? the new model has to be that much better.

i think the main selling point will be a stiffer body plus if they have any problems with that engine they would like to know that and try to fix them before the new model comes out(1 less thing to worry about).
