185 kilowatt but the extra 10kw over the fairmont v8 175kw was due to the better exhaust on the fairlane so I guess it's 175kw still?

Only LTDs & S1 XR8s got the 185kw motor. All 'lanes got the 175. Mind you, they were only a set of extractors away from being the same.

Correct about the LTDs. Did not know about the S1 XR8's. There you go, learn something new every day.
