[QUOTE="Butcher98, post: 13454085, member: 154132"] No, a dyno isn't always a good indication of what a car can run. There are way too many variables involved. If you don't think so, answer these two questions. 1) What did the '08 Z06 run at the track? Earlier in this thread, I posted some numbers from my '03 Z06. When my car made 386 rwhp, it weighed 3065 lbs in race trim. It weighed 3250 with me in it. My car only had bolt-ons at that point. Then, lets say we were to meet up at a drag strip. At that point, your car was making 369 rwhp and weighed 3010 pounds. 2) If I were to let you start the race with a 1 car length lead because of the difference in rwhp, would that have been a fair race? You can't race dyno numbers, and you can't really compare performance based on dyno numbers. There are simply too many variables that go into chassis dyno numbers. [/QUOTE]
