Pretty close to 500rwhp on a dynojet is my best guess. Very impressive..

That cant be right then. How could a stock C6 Z06 dyno @ around 500RWHP?

First off I said it was a guess, but remember this is a 427ci. Also, look at the trap speed. H/C 450rwhp 04 Z06's trap around 122 to 123mph here in Florida. Maybe a little less when it is really hot. 125mph is some good power even at 3200lb race weight.

I wonder how many miles the zo6 had on it when dynoed? If it's anything like a ls1 motor it will dyno higher after a couple thousand miles.

It seems to me like the driver did not take the car to redline, hence, the cut off at 6500 rpms. Correct?

Hehe, I was hoping they would be a little lighter than 31xxlbs. You got my hopes up though I had my doubts.
