[QUOTE="FNBADAZ06, post: 14354212, member: 137883"] The easy explanation for me regarding the OP's car performance is that he lives in the Phoenix metro area, and his CORRECTED RWHP was 630 (done in Florida, and probably on better octane fuel). That CORRECTED power rating don't mean squat when you're running in Phoenix in the heat of summer on 91 pump gas.....especially if you're FI. In 105+ degree weather, FI cars without some serious IAT management is going to suffer more RWHP loss than a NA car when using the same 91 pump gas, IMHO. As I had noted earlier, I have a few friends that owned 13/14 GT500's and ran several of these on the highway. In the winter time, traction and driver being equal, it's pretty much a dead heat. I give a slight edge to the GT500, especially when the Z goes into 4th gear at 124+ MPH as the RPM drop is pretty big given the big transmission gear drop. I run that same car in the dead of summer, it's a completely different race.....I'll have pulled several cars lengths. Heat soak and high IAT can be a bitch. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
