wait for actual production ones, instead of trusting a press prototype. Wouldn't one think with engine power numbers like this it should be pulling better performance numbers especially with a DCT? So youre telling me this OHV engine is making over 100hp/liter, which is what some of the best DOHC engines can make. The C7 6.2 OHV made around 75hp/liter so im being told its been increased by over 33.333%? Definitely believable. Imagine if this engine had DOHC, it would rival turbochargers specific output!

One reason I read (not sure how accurate) is that GM is one of only a few manufacturers that get their output certified by SAE, and that process runs the engine progressively harder over a longer period of time than a typical dyno pull, with very little cooling.

remember when C&D reported the new supra as having 427 ft# of torque? But when other outlets reported it was more like 380 ft# having similar hp figures? Wait and see
Horsepower is what sells sportscars, no company would be stupid enough to underrate by 150 hp

Plus cheaper to mod with simple tune.
There is room for both Supra and Corvette but C8 will outsell it at least by 3to1 margin.
