Not Ranked
I feel that most of HP numbers that you see listed today by the car builder is at the rear wheels. With that said I see evry few that willoduce what they say they will at the rear wheels. The new Z06 I believe is rated at 505 HP but is more like 450HP at the rear wheel. I would have to do some research on this myself. I do believe that the new cars get the power to the rear wheels better than the old cars and the Cobras for sure. It take a 550HP engine to get around 450HP at the rear tires on most Cobras and that is with a good exhaust and drive line. It would be interesting to have some of the engine of new design and old on the same engine dyno to compare them.
Good luck, Keith
