i was just curious, the 2003 z06 had 405HP correct? so what did the base model non z06 put out for horsepower. im just curious cause my friend said the non z06 was 405hp. so anyway i told him he was wrong. can someone please clarify for me please?

 

I think the stock coupe was 385 HP. That's at the crank, not the wheels. Same with 405 HP for the Z, that's at the crank. My stock '04 Z dyno'd at 362 rwhp.

 

Stock Non Z06 is 350hp, 385 was the 01 Z06. 02 and up was 405.

 

^ what he said

 

Remember you can search Edmunds.com for any car's specs. The 2003 corvette (non-Z06) had 350 HP:

Yep, except the base '97-'00 was 345hp, and 2001 and up was 350hp.
