and some people say newer ones only lose 12-13% so that would make it even more...

The engine is making 580hp as advertised. Give or take a couple hp. We installed a whipple on a LS3 5th Gen with long tubes and other supporting mods. It made 505rwhp. You honestly think a stock ZL1 with a smaller TVS blower, no other bolt ons, and probably lower compression engine is makin more power?? Trust me, its the dyno. |

Not so sure the math works that way. A 15% drivetrain loss on 518 RWHP = 518/.85 = 610. So, 13% loss would be 518/.87 = 595 and 12% would be 518/.88 = 589. That's the cool thing about statistics ( and dynos ) - play with the numbers long enough and you can tell any story you want.

I was also told that the SAE rating only means they are making at least that much HP. Look, I'm not arguing that these cars ARE making more than advertised HP, but I'd love for someone to give the reason reason to what I said above. I'm fully aware that the dyno should be used a tool to measure your gains from a baseline dyno and not as an end all be all measuring device.

Remember the SRA doesnt eat up as much power as a IRS. Even with that tho a 412bhp car should not be putting down 380rwhp. If this is the case id put my money on the dyno reading high, but we do live in a corrupt world so anything is possible. Maybe ford is paying off whoever is certifying these engines, lol. Never know. |

Tough choice still between ZL-1.... CTS-V or a Grand Sport.... If i HAD to choose to trade my SS in... I'd likely take a GS. Weight does mean a lot in terms of feel.

....yeah....because they (ford) may get it.
Seriously, the zl1 seems to be in good shape. What it should also mean is that this car will be in prime shape for any power tweak that may (or may not) be required when the new gt500 hits the street.
