ive seen one better, in a video called Mischief 3000(a documentary on Gumball 3000) they go to a car show. they see this guy that has a Mustang GT and in the back window he has this huge sticker "GT-R", so Dustin(the guy workin the camera goes up and asks this guy wut kinda engine is in it and the guy says the factory one and Dustin say "So, it's a ROTARY engine" and this guys like ya, ya, and its got a turbo and NOS and all that stuff, "It's fast, fast man" it was so funny cuz this guy had NO FRIGGIN clue about cars!!!
Wasnt even a Gt, it had the one little turndown in the back.

No there is no sticker but he wasn't lying about having 370 hp. LS1's are underrated by the factory and put out anywhere from 360 - 380 at the crank.
We (car guys) use RWHP when we talk about how much power a car makes, not FWHP.
why would us car guys or anyonelse talk about front wheel hp on an fbody anyway???
its a rwd car not fwd... :p
bdhp would make more sence
before drive train hp
but your right should measure rwhp

...FWHP is FLYWHEEL horsepower, not just front wheel horsepower. You go right ahead and use bhp if you want. That way you and Road & Track will be the only people in the world using it.
