505bhp = ~450rwhp
Thats 11 percent drive line loss.
I would not be surprised that in the end, once someone takes the GT-R motor to an engine dyno, theyw will find that there is closer to a 20% or higher drive train loss on a static dyno setup, but that by conventional calculaiton this loss is less and also variable under load on the road.
I highly doubt it. That would be nearly double the corvette. I cant believe that the transmission portion is 2 percent. 20 percent drive train loss would be greater then 100 bhp drive line loss. Thats alot of heat and I don't buy it.
It appears that last test posted proves my point. Also slower then the z06.

Quarter mile 11.6 sec @ 120.0 mph
Last I checked the best stock time for a Z06 was a 10.9.. and even mag reported times were faster then this report. Motor trends own times for the z06 were "the standing quarter in 11.5 seconds at 127.1 mph". Significantly higher then that of the GTR. These are results I expect.
