Only 550hp? I think that's a little underrated

Yeah something about how GM rates the HP on these is funny, I can't remember exactly but they dont take the max HP at the MAX RPM's, And I dont think a COPO has been put on a dyno yet I'd like to find a dyno run of 1 but I havn't been able to so far

It must have way more than 550 horse. COPOs run high 8s.
