Actually, that is a valid point. They measure it at the crank with the stock exhaust system installed.

SAE Net hp is measured at the engine's crankshaft, and so does not account for transmission losses. However, the SAE net hp testing protocol calls for standard production-type belt-driven accessories, air cleaner, emission controls, exhaust system, and other power-consuming accessories.
So, could the Camaro have a different tune, maybe?
