You take the 650hp from the LT4 and multiply that by 6.46 and you get 4,199lbs.

You are doing it wrong. You are taking a power number that doesn't exsist to figure out the weight of the car.

You are supposed to use the weight to figure out the power.

It means 1HP for each 6.46 pounds or less.

If an SS is 3700lbs and has a 6.46 Pwr/wght it would put it at 570HP.

If there is a new ZL1 it should weigh less than 4000lbs. You would get about 620hp with that power to weight ratio.
