If I'm not mistaken the term "brake horsepower" translates to "rear wheel horsepower" as read by a dyno. There are so many variables to this question that only a ball park response is offered:

Brake horsepower by year/model

97-00 C5
290 to 310

01-04 C5
300 to 310

01 Z06
330 to 340

02-04 Z06
345 to 355

05-06 C6
335 to 345

There is a plus or minus factor involved here as there will always be differences in cars and dyno's. But based on many years of real world reports I'd say my numbers are a fair average.
