I ran 176 in the mile several years ago in my l
415 with a terrible launch & a short mile (Nellis AFB, Las Vegas) My normally aspirated 415 dyno'd at 540 RWHP on the Std scale. Est Crank Hp, adjusted to SAE was probably in neighborhood of 630. I would expect an A8 ZO6 with more power & better Aero to have been in the 185-190 range. I wonder if it had the most aggressive track aero pkg? Could have slowed it down some.

Everybody brings up the aero pkg and this or that, but then why does a 550-600hp GTR which weighs a lot more beat the new vette? I think except for ideal temp conditions that these cars are not making 650hp.
