If you believe Chevy's numbers, that is... Someone needs to come up
with a slide rule or something so we can figure out what the real numbers
are; you know, something like, "mulitply any advertised chebby HP numbers
by .8, multiply any advertised mopar HP numbers by 1.1", etc. (Hmmm, Al
Gore didn't work for Chevy's marketing dept. at any point, did he?) ;-)
Either that, or they've been using the same (broken) dyno since the 60's...
Hey, I know, maybe nobody told them that the rest of the world switched
to SAE NET HP in the 70's? ;-)
