The only way to know for sure is to have an engine dyno. However, we know the ZL1’s have 650HP and we typically see them dyno around 550whp. We also saw another car with the exact setup I have that ran about 4% more power to the wheels through the M6. It seems to me that 11% loss for the M6 and 15% loss for the A8 would be about right. Not the most scientific test I could conduct, but good enough for government. Besides the only actual number that matters is at the rear wheels + the ability to drive the sled, right? The engine calculation is kind of a braggin’ rights thing...
