However, unless the 650 horsepower translates to usable performance, it's simply a number used for bragging rights. One will have to wait for the GT500 performance tests on the track to determine how usable the GT500's 650 horsepower truly is. The ZL1's standard suspension and coolers do add usable performance improvements which have been displayed on the track.
