[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16310266, member: 159453"] I kind of stopped paying attention after the first couple dyno pulls, it's obvious something funky is going on (550wtq on that 478whp pull). Not saying it doesn't make 478 wheel, that's more in line but I almost never believe a stand-alone dyno number. I'll reserve judgement until I see more. If the 13/14 GT500 had that dual clutch behind it, it would probably run 130. The A10 mustang GT traps about 4-5 mph faster than the manual. Most mags are getting 121 with the C8 (this is even the consensus on the Corvette forum), also it's what GM has stated. Bringing up the A10 Mustang, a car that has run 119-120 with several different magazines and even faster in the hands of owners, makes about 420-430whp (the highest I found in a quick search is 437whp, and lots below 420) at 3850lbs. So I guess I'll ask this question, if you bought this car and it only went a few mph faster than a Mustang GT in the quarter, with 140hp more and 250lbs less weight, would you think the car actually made 600hp? I imagine more dyno numbers will start to show up relatively soon, I expect them to settle in the 460whp range, which would put it nicely in the low 500s crank. [/QUOTE]
