My guess is that whoever connected the ignition cable didn't do a good job. Then again, I also think the guy that dynoed my car didn't have the pedal on the floor too!

If you want an example, C&D July 2001 issue tested a 01 Cobra. The 01 Cobra ran the 1/4 mile in 13.5 @ 105 mph. Being suspicious that they might have a ringer (because of the 99 Cobra hp problem). They ask for a 01 vert for testing and quietly took both cars in for dyno testing. Both cars dyno at 272 rwhp and they said and I quote "If you correct for dirveline losses (about 15 percent) the rear-wheel dyno number correlates to 320 crankshaft hp, exactly as advertised". So you can thown around whatever percentage you want. The average is 15 percent.
