Is GM lying to it's customers as far as HP claims?
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/10q1/2010_chevrolet_corvette_zr1_vs._2010_porsche_911_turbo-comparison_tests
The 911 is down 138 HP, is heavier, and has more drive-train(4-wheel drive), yet does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds(versus 3.3), and a quicker quarter mile.
Someone is seriously fudging the numbers here. I seem to remember a test back in the late 80's also where a 200HP 911 waxed a 300HP twin Turbo 300ZX.
I welcome any feedback.
No, GM is not lying about the output, every ZR1 I've seen dyno'ed has been around what they should be.
Of course the 911 is gonna have a quicker 0-60 due to the AWD, that can easily make up for a HP difference.
You also neglected to mention that the ZR1 was actually faster at the Mazda Speedway track. You have to remember on thing about magazine times, a lot of times they're biased and inaccurate. I've personally seen 4 BONE STOCK ZR1's run 10.90's ALL DAY LONG(yay for living within an hour or 2 of 4 major tracks) at the strip, they just need a competent driver, the 911 will be a little more forgiving due to the AWD. Trap speed shows the REAL power, ET is more traction and driver skill. Just keep that in mind. Horsepower isn't the end all be all when it comes to track times, there are many, many other factors.
Load, what are you talking about? The Corvette is too heavy and takes too long to corner? What crack are you smoking? Seriously. Did you SEE where it BEAT the 911 in the ROAD course. Please think before saying dumb stuff like that....this isn't the '80's. The Corvette has been a great handling car since the C5 came out....
