It showed the car at the track and even showed the numbers on the boards at the end. At the very end of the video it stated numbers, thanks to the track that was used and then the advertisement for the mag being available on shelves soon. It was possible the car had slicks or DR's on it. If I get some spare time to browse around I will post the links. Further more the current ZO6 (06-09) all have 505HP from the factory. On the dyno these cars are putting down around 470-480HP to the ground.
Now the NEW ZR1 Corvette thats rated at 638HP (4 lobe roots blown 6.2L at 10.5psi) is putting to the ground ballpark 581-617HP. Now if you consider the new CTS-V has the same engine save for 8.5psi boost and a valve train that only supports 6300rpm instead of 6600rpm and the CTS-V is putting to the ground nearly the exact same numbers as its rated at. Does GM under rate their HP figures I would guess they do.
Cory did you think the CTS-V had the ZO6 engine in it? Just curious....
Yes I was aware, but from articles I've been seeing no one has broke 11's and traps are in the teens..... Which I suppose is good enough for an 11 but not on factory tires, unless the driver is the shit!
