Isn't that the same reported top speed of the Ford GT? That engine as supposedly rated at 550hp and 500tq and the GT's body was designed more for style than speed. The ZR1 has 88hp and over 100 ft-lbs more torque than the GT. Hmmm.

And more interesting is that the GT is just a little faster than the z06 around a track. My thought process is that this car was designed to go around a track fast as opposed to a top speed.

At 530 RWHP, flywheel HP would be:
589 HP (assuming a "modest" 10% drivetrain loss)
602 HP (assuming a very realistic 12% drivetrain loss)
624 (allowing for a higher 15% drivetrain loss)
Still think the GT has "only" 550 HP?
