Don't be too disappointed if it is a 210bhp because there is little difference (if anything) between the two cars (perhaps 0.3 of a second in the 0-60 sprint - which I quoted of Parkers website). Other than that, nothing has changed AFAIK.

Just as an add on to my experience, I asked the dealer if the car had been REVO'd to which he said, "What does that mean". I explained to him that it was a chipping company which boosts the bhp to which he replied, "I didn't know this could be done to these cars. But don't do it as it invalids your warranty".

Are dealers supposed to not know or show any knowledge about remapping cars or was he really unfortunate and didn't know about it?

Dealers should know about any influence in the market and the aftermarket. Even if they had not known about Revo specifically, they should at least heard of the theory behind their product.... Superchips have been around since the invention of the wheel so I'm amazed that anybody in the motor industry could fail to know about it.
