The flip side though, is that in 2004 motortrend tested the z51 c6 corvette and it ran a 12.7 @ 112 with 400 engine hp. That's 115 hp less than what Stillen is claiming from their press car.
Exactly. The 'vette weighs about the same as a Z, and ran about the same time as the "supposed" 515bhp Z. That Z does NOT! make 515bhp unless the driveline is sucking up 150hp. Sorry. Not happening with those numbers unless they slammed the brakes on at the 1000' mark.
