why are these numbers so low chevy promised 400hp when i got my camaro in july mine ls99 was supposed to be 420hp:(
The manual six speed LS3 is rated 426HP. The auto L99 is rated 400HP. These are flywheel ratings. The dyno #'s you see posted here are rear wheel #'s. You lose roughly 20% of your HP through the drive train. i.e. 400HP at flywheel = roughly 320HP at the wheels.
