Yes, they should.... If they expected the GT500 to lay down 500 HP on the dyno then they are living in a fantasy land.

EDIT: If I remember right the average power loss from flywheel to rearwheel is about 13%. If the GT500 dynoed at 440HP, that is a 12% loss which is pretty good. Even if the Camaro loses 13%, and it has the 425HP that is anticipated out of the LS3, then it will still make approx 370HP at the wheels.... I'll take that!
