The GT500 has a SAE certified 500hp. There is no arguing that fact, but you can take a look at the numbers too.

447 rwhp is 53 bhp less than 500bhp

53bhp/500bhp = 10.6% drivetrainloss. Completely reasonable.

GT500 isn't under or overrated. It is accurately rated (at least by SAE standards).

And guys in the old country typically use KW for power instead of horsepower.
