so the Z produced 332hp at those conditions, you start raising temperature and or pressure and your horsepower suffers.
so to the people who bought the Z in colorado the actual horsepower is closer to 300 crank, those in Arizona during summer 100+ F weather are also not getting the 332hp.
so ideally, if you drive your car in Florida during the winter you will be right at sea level 29.96mm Hg ~ 1atm, and the temperature will be right around 77 depending on exact location, now drive the same car in Florida during the summer and you will also be less then advertised.

How are engines rated in Europe? Because they are advertised at 326HP if my memory serves me well
