Thats 412 HP SAE @ the FLYWHEEL. If they were 412 RWHP they would be 530hp at the flywheel and be a hell of alot faster than 13.0's@ 110 mph. Thats with a pro driver, on a closed coarse, not a street race. In the real world we're talking 13.6-.8 @ 107ish. 3600lbs is base no option GT coupe, Options add weight fast.

I make 5.slow GTs cry atleast 3 times a week in my old ass Vette. They are my favorite car to pick on. LOL
