I dont know muscleman, the closest method is to take 1/5 of the engine power off because of drivetrain losses(tranny, driveshaft, rearend)...

so the Z06 has around 400 hp, i think it'd make around 360 to the rear wheels
if you want more accurate results, try google or MSNsearch

eh, 20% seems like a lot. I think its more like 15%-17%, but I could be wrong.

yeah, a little more than 1/5 off, hard to word that way, i was thinking of changing net to gross hp, but yeah i'd say 15-17%

a good basis for drivetrain percent loss is 16% for manual tranny and 22% for an auto.
