Inertia dynos are remarkebly consistent and accurate. They are based off the laws of physics.

Unlike a Mustang dyno operated by some idiot that couldn't operate a cash register at McDonalds. The operator has to make inputs such as the weight of the car. It is on Mustang dynos that I have seen numbers all over the place.

Just keep thinking that GT500 is 662 HP. We will see 700 HP times turned in on this car. It will run 10's with just slicks.
Please, go look up SAE Certified. The Ford GT was not - the GT500 is. As for Dyno's....holy cow....dude, they are a tuning tool, and when used for their primary purpose (tuning), the Mustang dyno is actually more useful than inertia dynos.

Finally....accurately calculating BHP off of RWHP is simply not possible. Way too many variables.
