Yeah, I ran across one of those driven by a couple gals. It was right after I had finished my top end porting on the Z (somewhere in the 400 at the wheels area) The Firehawk was impressive, and I guess the gals thought they were picking on some ordinary C4, but they were entirely overwhelmed by the Z.
But, back on topic, there's gross and SAE net and RWHP and RWHP "under the curve". JMO, but HP at the wheels, where the rubber meets the road is the only meaningful measurement. Everything else is just so much hot water generated that means nothing, far as performance goes, methinks.
