1320Vette – Stock C6 Z06 Corvette Dyno

Getting some baseline dyno numbers out of the 2011 C6 Corvette “1320Vette” on a mustang dyno before modifying it. Mods coming soon, stay tuned!

Thanks to Chad at The Shop Inc in Lincoln, NE for hosting the dyno day

  1. Because it is crank horsepower that matters, not what you make on a chassis dyno. Change tire size or gears and the numbers change on a chassis, engine dyno's take out all of those variables and show how much power over time the engine really makes. Engine Dyno > Chassis Dyno.

  2. Think for just a second guy. Nothing wrong with telling us what the motor puts out. Any car guy knows that you loose about 15% drivetrain loss with a manual transmission and you loose about 20-25 % drivetrain loss with a auto. Tuners arent going to pull your motor out just to see what a few simple mods do, It would cost more to do that than the mods. That why they test gains at the tires.

  3. Your not a car guy this is a huge FAIL on your part. The Zo6 is rated at the crank at 505 HP but as you can clearly see in the video this rating is from the tire stupid, hence rwhp.

  4. Manufacturers tell you the hp the engine has when they run it on an engine dyno that is hooked to the crank and or flywheel (which is basically the same place. AFTER you put it in the car it will lose some power by the time it gets to the road through the drive-train. This is why you put it on the dyno.

  5. At the rear wheels mind you. The approximate 80 Hp loss is all heat or mechanical losses due to the drivetrain moving so many parts, including all of the linkage the tranny itself and the wheels. Also the exhaust system eats into the number. All saying aside, the Manufacturers aren't lying, they are just telling you your engine makes this much total power…if it wasnt moving anything at all or hooked to the car lol

  6. true doesn't 505 HP sound so much better than 425-ish HP lol
    Yeah that bigger number is what all American car makers put and it is usually measured when the engine is on an engine dyno (not even hooked to a drivetrain or anything, with straight pipes mind you) so the numbers that American manufacturers usually post are crank horsepower. For good measure, always subtract about 80 HP to the total number and you will have a rough estimate on how much HP your car really has.

  7. Yeah someone else said crank but another person said flywheel. Not sure which one is right. All I know is that I keep reading everywhere it has 505 hp. So im confused. But I guess 400 something is pretty good too. Maybe Chevy likes to lie about power to sell more cars. Oh well.

  8. corvette is not muscle its a sports car for the common man, come on the regular vette starts around 40k and that is pushing decent power already on a light body.

  9. I know you already got your response but to put it in more detail… The car does essentially make 505hp, at the flywheel. But, after it goes through the clutch, trans, driveshaft, rear end, axles, and through the tire to the ground is what a chassis dyno measures which gives a Wheel Horsepower Rating, or whp. 437whp is really good for a stock car.
