Well I've heard that GM likes to understate hp, the numbers are likely to be closer between advertised engine and dyno'd wheel. Secondly, independent rear suspension. What will they complain about then? Probably the interior, thats the last resort when finding weakness in a muscle car. Kinda like complaining that a Bentley weighs over 5000 lbs.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. When they tested the Z06, they couldn't say one bad thing about it, except that the tbt nav went wight to 'fast-food restaurants, how
american is that?!?", other than that, and a few cheap shots at it's "roadability" he kept saying, "the
Americans are showing
us how to do it!"...I look forward to more of that reaction.
And as for the hp reading...I know it's perfectly average, I know all cars have that loss - I
also know, they like to rag and make jokes about all american cars - wherever they can.
I didn't really think anything of it.
Besides, even though he may not like the numbers, who exclaimed "Good God!" when it took off?
