To put a car on a dyno and then back-calculate flywheel HP is hogwash. No doubt that Ford is getting every one of those 662 HP and the same for Chevrolet and the 580 HP the ZL1 puts out. I struggle when I hear people speculating about flywheel HP based on chassis dyno results. Too much variability to get good relaibale data. Take it for what it is worth. Trust me. I know what I speak of here.
You're correct.
