Numbers Game
How does the 2016 Shelby GT350 stack up to the GT350R?
By Steve Turner

As you know by now, the first rear-wheel dyno numbers for the Voodoo 5.2-liter engine hit the Internet last week. Despite spinning the rollers on a 100-degree dyno room at K&N Engineering, the latest Shelby GT350 put down solid peak numbers of nearly 467 horsepower and 374 lb-ft of torque. Technically, the numbers were 466.78 and 373.75, but they were rounded up, and what’s a little power among friends?

VBox has a correction factor for butterfly farts, derived from a California Air Resources Board algorithm. They'll be regulated in short order as some feel they are the most important challenge to our national security interests, after toy drones and nonexistant global temperature increases. So eventually these small deviations will be eliminated as we move to make everyone and every thing, equal.

You had me for a second.

I'm talking about the dyno numbers. Were they not actual dyno numbers. and Vbox numbers? I just assumed that with the photo of one on the dyno, that they were actual dyno numbers.

But yeah. LOL
