Have you ever seen a C6 Z06 magazine time in the high-12's? That is the kind of hp/weight ratio we are talking here, nearly. Find me a C6 Z06 time/trap magazine-time within half a second and 5mph of that and I will buy it, until then--inflated numbers.

Better yet, find me a similar magazine-time AND trap for a GT500. It has tires just as narrow, or narrower, and similar power, with LOTS more weight.

I'm just not buying it. Not at all.

agree....... well, sort of. I still think bad driving coupled with lack of HP... Whoever said this car was putting out 375, I have to agree.

The ET is bad driving/tires/suspension (for drag). The Trap is the 375 I predict.

However, the magazine knocked around 1 second off and added 10mph trap speed--same driver/conditions. That is 100whp. That is 432bhp. May be off by 20, 30, 40bhp, but even so---it's not 500bhp.

You are probably correct, your numbers are all certainly in line with the performance the Stillen Z had shown. Judging from what I have seen regarding the Stillen supercharger kit, I highly doubt it is putting out anything more than what you indicated.

In fact, if the car is putting down the amount others on this forum are putting down with the supercharger kit, that is better than if they brought out their original press car which would have led to unrealistic performance.

500Hp ain't 500hp. It is all about the area under the curve or torque.
The peak power may indeed be correct based on the power obtain from a pressure ratio of 1.5.
