Default 214whp out of a built b18c impressive?

hey, I've got sorta an argument going with a friend of mine. Its about this car, I do appriciate the amount of time and work that went into it, all that I'm saying is 214whp out of an engine thats got that much money under the hood doesnt seem very impressive to me. I know Ive seen hundreds of supercharged or other wize boosted b18s that put down much more power with then that to the wheels, I'm just looking for some examples and such, thanks.

i think it was dynoed at the REAR wheels, you loose alot more hp when the power goes thru the drive shaft rear diff and axels, if it was to the front wheels it would be around 230, which is normal for a SC. if it was to the front wheels than yea its kinda low on power.
