Isn't SAE what they post in Europe? Which means the 505 is not the same as what we're used to hearing hear in the state? I don't think the SAE means that the origianally quoted 500 has risen to 505, I think that's the difference in the measuring systems.

Nope, I'm an idiot, in think that may be DIN.

Somebody straighten me out.

SAE = Society of Automotive Engineers from what I know. I believe this new 505hp rating came about due to a new way to test HP that the SAE came up with. It is supposed to be more accurate.

the ZO6 won't dyno at 505HP just as the C6 doesn't dyno at 400HP. The advertized HP is at the Flywheel, most dyno's are at the drive wheels (aprx. 15% loss).
