My dealership does great service but it is not the one I bought from. Should they receive extra allocations? It’s a dumb idea.

So you are saying at the wheels it should be 495 - 35 = 460? In other words 460 at the wheels should trap @ 121-122 mph?

WHP is the only measurement that matters; actual put down to the road, forgetting what that equates to at the crankshaft, or drivetrain losses. With that in mind, do you accept the final WHP number...

I don't own the opinion of more HP than claimed by GM. That opinion belongs to Motor Trend. They stood behind it, said they are certain of it and I'm repeating it. I would have expected you above all...

First of all, it was 123.2 mph, secondly it was an instrumented test at Fontana which has no 1/4 mile course, but I agree with you on the last point, there is not much you can tell me.

Like most C6 ZR1's 540 HP at the wheels was about average. That's very similar to this C8, and so is the trap speed. The numbers don't lie. GM sent them a cheater and they got caught.
