there was an article in hot rod a few years ago i shoudl try to dig up. they did dyno pulls on a bunch of production performance cars and compared the numbers at the wheels to the numbers advertised. GM was the closest, the dodges were right behind, and the fords were way the hell off.

just read that the LS2 was underrated because of the correction factor they use on the dynos. the actual number was higher (based on 77 degrees and 60 degrees fahrenheit). guess it all depends on what the weather is like today. most cars in our area probably run in weather most like 77 degrees than 60 degrees (i would think, anyway).
anyway, in case the update wasn't posted:
