I'll guess that:

VID = Vehicle I.D.

PWR<6.46 = Power to Weight Ratio. Which, if this is a Z/28 they've probably taken 100 lbs out of it compared to the SS which is 3,685 lbs so figure 3,585 lbs. Divide 3,585 by 6.46 you get 555 hp.

0/100<4.0 = 0-100kph in less than 4 seconds?

LG>1.0X = Lateral Grip greater than 1.0

#HPSIX = High Performance Sixth Gen.

So guess what boys and girls...they don't consider the SS you're buying to be high performance!! ROFL This bodes very well for the Z/28 and should cause much heartburn at other companies and forums.
Hi Doc, if you look at all the pics you can see the tire size in the front is smaller this in the past was to the LT/LS/SS and last the ZL1 not the Z/28 or the 1LE if GM stays true to form, this is a ZL1 car, there are more clues, what looks like a heat exchanger at the low part of the grill, now for the numbers.

If this is the Zl1 (and i think it is)with the pic you posted to get to the power of less then 6.46 that car will need to have 600+ HP here is how.

Car is going to come in at 3900LB, so to get better then the 6.46 you need to have more then 600HP, that only gets you to 6.5 why do i think its going to be that heavy, 1SS comes in at 3685lb add mag ride, add 6 piston up front, add heavy rear diff and all the cooling needed, and we will be luck to stay at 3900lb and if we are say 50lb more more hp needed to keep the 6.46 right.


so with that look to see 640hp and you will be at 6.17 now that will be a fast car, better pic for you all.
