Finally....accurately calculating BHP off of RWHP is simply not possible. Way too many variables. |

This arguing about crank HP is pointless, because the point is that REGARDLESS of WHY it happens (whether it's under rated at the crank, or just has a far more efficient drivetrain, or a combination of both), the GT500 looks like its making far more at the wheels than you would expect. It's rated at 82 HP more than the ZL1, so you'd expect it to make around 70 more at the wheels, but it looks like the average dynos of both put it at more like 100 more at the wheels.

Or its just more efficient due to the irs on the Zl1.
In the end who cares about what a car is rated at, the end product is all that matters, and for the most part the GT500 is anywhere from .5 to 1 second faster in the quarter. Or in other words a Millenium Falcon's worth. Rumor has it the GT500 can make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. No way the ZL1 can compete. |

I am more impressed by the low driveline loss in the GT500 that the big number. Thinking of a one-pice CF driveshaft to go with much lighter wheel on my car.

The higher dyno numbers are due to the final drive ....short gears dyno lower...
Look at mmandff ...when they go from say a 3.31 to 4.10 they usually lose 20-30 whp (when dynoed in the same 1.00 gear)... So you have it : Zl1 final drive: 3.73 2013 gt50: 3.31 Primary gears are also longer on the gt500...so |

Just did my initial detail (a week after getting it) and it turned out pretty good.
Pictures aren't the best, but still pretty good.

^^^Car looks great man!
Now go get those window's tinted and post up some more pics... Any plans on lowering it? Love the new GT500's but they still sit way to high for my taste. These things would look badass with a lower stance... |
