Very Interesting - scroll to the bottom and read the comments. Seems like they are saying a lot of manufacturers "cheat/sandbag" on these numbers to their advantage for comparison purposes with/against other competitor cars in their class.

All of the dyno numbers, including Renntech’s, suggest that it is definitely underrated from the factory. How underrated is pretty much speculation due to not knowing the exact drivetrain loss. Renntech says 609hp/541lbft at the crank.

FWIW: In the articles I have read, the 602-609 hp number is correct for the euro GTR. The US “As Delivered” 577hp number is also fairly accurate but conservative as you stated.
However, if K&N filters replace the stock ones, the number will return to near 602-605.
GTR 0-60 times are understated as well 0-60 is really 2.6 -2.8.

AMG GTS Solarbeam Yellow
Local guy who has pure turbos, meth, downpipes, intake and tune in his GTS ran a stock AMG GTR and it was a half decent race
So
There is definitely some under rating going on by AMG

Those numbers might be doable with drag radials but with stock rubber? Show the video.

Calling me out huh?
Now I’ll have to go hunting up the articles again so I can win a virtual beer.
I do know 0-60 is quicker than 3.6.

Besides VIC and I are just messing with each other.
You of course are free to just move on to another thread and not read this one.
