So....if several owners of the 2013 GT500 end up having dyno numbers that are ~600 RWHP, will we then all say that its SAE certified HP rating is also low, and thus Ford underrated it too - SAE certification be damned?

Bob, it is of no use. Spare your fingers the hard work. There is only like a dozen of us in this whole site who understand. Sometimes I think everyone should have to take some type of performace IQ test before they're allowed to start posting.

So the 2010-2012 GT500's have been puttin down 485-510 rwhp stock for 3 years and they are rated at 540-550 hp not SAE. Wouldn't you think a 580 hp car would put down 500-520rwhp? Guys its 580hp why spend all the time and money to comply with SAE standards and then lie about the numbers. So should we go around and tell people that all the older GT500's are really 580-600 hp cars too cause they make similar power. Those that say the trap speed tells all are correct. 116 mph is not 600+ hp. Hell my wife's 4 door sedan traps 112 mph and makes 400 rwhp.

Give it some time and then take what they average at the track (MPH) and that will give you a better idea of the power they make.
My 03 Cobra made 426rwhp and went 121 in the heat @almost 3700#. So if Dynos are correct then all these ZL!s that are making over 510 should be going about 125? Dynos are cool and they have there purpose but I don't think they are accurate as far as giving numbers. |

Anyone thinking the zl1 is underrated 30+ horsepower at the crank needs to lay off taking the blue pill. The car has electronic steering assist and im sure plenty of other small enhancements to get more power to the wheels. You're absolutely dreaming at even 15% drivetrain loss. Lol. I'd bet 13% tops.
Also dyno numbers are about as reliable as a wet paper bag.

You are no more correct in ZL1 making less power than those claiming it does until you can put LSA on a dyno', test it, and then do corresponding scientific chassis testing to back your claims...

Regardless of the crank being that much higher (unlikely) or closer to what GM certified the vehicle at (very likely) is win win for the ZL1 since it's putting that power to the ground regardless. And we've already seen some of these cars dyno in the 470 range. So like I said before... Quote:
