As an example - my GT-R runs 10.3 at 132 - that is 717hp and on my dyno on race fuel it made 711

My Vette ran 154mph at 3700lbs - on dyno 1087hp

I made a calculated guess at frontal area but I am usually pretty close

1700hp - so figure 20% loss through driveline - so 1360 rwhp - that should push the car 170 ish - I look forward to seeing that
