Seriously?...dyno stats - ModernCamaro.com

So factory horsepower rating is supposed to be around 426, but the only dyno i have seen the SS camaro dynoed at 364 is there really a 64 horsepower loss just through the drivetrain thats a pretty big leap between numbers. I know factory numbers vary from actual dynometers but really?? Check out the link and let me know some input. I know that is still quite a few horsies but I may just be bein greedy.

At the beginning of the video they typed RWHP...426 is at the crank I assume.

lol, yea, least you're closer than me... you ordered a 6 tho i thought? lots of potential with that engine, maybe not v8 sound, but a twin turbo v6 putting out 4 or 500 horsepower would be a monster

Yes I knew that it was at the crank, and you lose it to the RW but I guess 10-15% in my head seemed a little less than actual numbers

Only girls with really crappy knees due to horse riding accident

besides, it only does 2 mph slower than the stick in 6th in a quarter
