Mustang GT500 overheats the brakes after only one lap at Laguna Seca. That one lap may be fast, but the car is worthless for a track rat. A recent track event saw a novice overheat the brakes on his GT500, and balled up the car into a barrier |

Not quite sure what you mean by, "Not sure an engine can really determine RWHP..." To get to any of your equations your using the car, hence the lbs. Therefore to be closer to "actual" results it would be RWHP which includes the car not just the engine.

It's not infighting though, it's bashing by ZL1 guys. They obviously don't understand they have a great car they don't have to justify.

No sir. The Z/28 will still get through the corners significantly faster because of the lighter weight and lower center of gravity. and with the low end torque of the big cube 427 it will exit the corners faster as well. coming out of the corner it'll be a bit before the ZL1 will get up to speed and start making up ground on the straightaway.

Here is the thing, the Z/28 was stated to be slightly heavier then the V-6 Camaro, it was also stated as having a better power to weight ratio then the ZL1 Camaro. The ZL1 Camaro at 4,100 pounds and 580BHP has a power to weight ratio 7.1 pounds per horsepower (rounded up otherwise its 7.06). The only way that the Z/28 Camaro only has 500BHP is if it weighs 3,500 pounds (which it doesn't). So with the information of a better power to weight ratio and at 3,780 pounds the Z/28 Camaro is making at the crank at least 540BHP. |
