Re: 50 Fastest Muscle Cars...
Chuck,
While what you say is true, that figure seemed like an awful lot to lose, to me. The difference between flywheel dyno horsepower and a chassis dyno rear wheel horsepower is generally accepted to be somewhere around fifteen percent of the larger number, I believe. Of course, that's just a ballpark figure, but the factory said a drop of 53- percent in this case.
That just seemed like an awful lot of hp to lose to "accessories" and other parasitic devices... I can't imagine what their motivation might be to fabricate an unrealistically-low figure like that though (NHRA never bought it,) so perhaps it's correct.
Just sayin'...
