No, it doesn't.  You're way over the high-compression, 20v NA engine 
for example. By at least 30 hp.

I'd suspect that you entered the gross vehicle weight instead of curb 
weight.  Double check all settings, including # of cylinders, 
gear+final drive ratios, etc.  If you want to be exact, weight the 
car with a full tank and yourself(truck stops will usually do this 
for you, I think.)
