Judging from the first dyno pull and 1/4 mile times done by Hennessey Performance, I'd say GM just wrote the number down on a piece of paper to impress people. I'd hope to God they just babied the car on its first trip out, or that Camaro engineer who said it would be right there with the GT500 is full of ****.
What?! 460rwhp and a 12.5 @ 116 is all they could get? I have a feeling these won't be very competitive with the GT500.

I agree, all we can do is wait and see though. I would like to see another A6 dyno run however before I make my final judgement, but I think we can all say that this is definitely not a good start.
Man, going off of those 1/4 times some bolt-on LS1's out there would be able to give this thing a tough time, ridiculous.

The Hennessey dyno and times seem...off to me? Maybe not so much the dyno since it was an Auto but the 1/4 time should be better even with DRs they couldnt break into 11s but do have to remember the car is "new" so people need to get a feel for it and needs to be broken in still.
LG Motosports dynoed a stock M6 as well...
The car is making good numbers on the dyno but its track times are not where it SHOULD be even with that massive weight it has. The car better perform better or people will laugh at GM for the massive amount of hype they have been doing for the car.

LPE base pulley kit package dyno graph Here is a dyno graph of a MT ZL1 Camaro with our base package (2.55" pulley, ported SC front cover, air intake and 160 degree thermostat). That package will be $2995 and includes installation, calibration, warranty, certificate of authenticity and before and after chassis dynamometer testing.

I think this is a good indication as what the new GT500 will be running off the showroom floor with DR's and skinnies.

Nice, 11% drivetrain loss seems odd to me though 
If you figure a "normal" range for a factory car is around 15% drivetrain loss, this car would be about 600-610hp at the crank. Either this is one sickly underrated car, the dyno is being very generous, or this is one hell of an effecient drivetrain. Probably elements of all 3 things.
