For me, this is almost chuckle-worthy. When I first started working at IHS-Markit, I intentionally did not take on the GM portfolio forecasting. I didn’t have an NDA or non-compete because I retired, as opposed to quitting to take another job, but I still wanted to maintain a 1-yr hands off of GM stuff just to maintain a position of plausible deniability (ie - I didn’t walk in with a basket full of secret documents). But I do have a fairly decent memory.

I took on GM after a year at IHS-M. The guy who had the deck before me had:

LT6 @ 650 hp / 600 lb-ft. I changed it to 600 / 500
LT7 @ 850 hp / 825 lb-ft. I changed it to 750 / 750, 750 / 922 for the hybrid
We agreed on the LT7 hybrid being a total system output of 1,000 / 975

I’m thinking Motor1 got their info from an old report of one of our forecasts. I made my changes about a year ago.
