You are referencing a totally different car with a totally different engine and induction system.

If you want to hurt feelings, then buy a gutted, LS3 turbo Miata.

660whp has to be on a very conservative dyno. They weigh what, 3600-3700 lbs? 139mph trap on 660whp at that weight is fast. Definitely not Dynojet numbers.

There is however such a thing as a dyno operator that manipulates the factors on his mustang dyno, which can make it say anything. |

Different dyno manufacturers use different methodology to derive horsepower and torque. Especially with turbocharged cars you will see different results with water-brake, inertia, and electric dynos. Load will affect spool and thus impact charge air temperatures at peak boost as well. You can do all the calibrating in the world and not get inertia and load-bearing to read identical without seriously fudging some numbers, especially on high horsepower turbocharged cars. |

GT500 could have been built as a dyno-queen. If that's the case then you can expect it to lose to numerous other cars with far less HP. I've seen 800hp Supras routinely disappoint in the 1/4 mile because they aren't built for speed, they're built for glorified dyno sheets.

If the 660whp C63 still isn't enough then the owner can always take out his 900whp+ CLS he mentioned to combat all those pesky turbo Miata's dominating the texas invitational and other sanctioned roll race events.

What does this have anything to do with my original question?
