GT5 | Drag Race : Chevrolet Corvette Stingray '14 VS Nissan GTR '07 - YouTube

They probably do know something. Oh, wait a minute, they transposed the numbers. It was a typo. The real HP is 664. That's it!

We finally have an answer.

I have absolute horror stories of the state troopers on Ocean Parkway. You wouldn't believe half the things I've seen. I'm not a cop hater or anything, I have plenty of friends who are cops, but these guys on Ocean Parkway are complete *** holes who just want to ruin as many lives as possible.

If it puts out 450 but is still putting down C6 Z06 like performance numbers then what???

Do you keep the Z06 for HP bragging rights?

This is better than relying on GT to derive hp. Maybe Tadge and his team are testing the car in video arcade?

Strive for 475!

475 HP minimum, would be great for marketing purposes. The 450 HP rating seems anemic when you consider that the current LS3 has only 14 HP less with NPP.

I got pulled over for driving "suspiciously cautious." I had cruise set to 53mph because I know how bad they are over there. They pulled me over anyway. I was pulled over for nearly an hour as they ran my license, checked under the car, under the hood etc. They are unbelievable.
