That's a beautiful car but I would still prefer this:

I love this thing.
i like NSX's...but da ZR1 eats its food like a sucker gettin herbed on riker's island.
 
I'm feeling the camaro but I don't believe it needs rims to look good if I owned one I'd leave it stock. 26's is OD but a nice staggered rimmight look alright.

Basically, you aren't getting it. The 'loss' of horsepower used to find RWHP as calculated by the Dyno is not a real loss. It's areduction in acceleration, but that does NOT mean there is less power being produced.

Pretty much. I had a 2 paragraph post in mind, but you summarized it nicely. People need to realize that measuring "horsepower" at the wheels is notvery scientific. Measure the HP at the engine.


Here's an analogy. A sprinter runs a 4.3 in the 40m dash. Next time, he adds a 20 pound backpack (rims) and runs the 40m dash in 5.1 seconds.

The sprinter is still producing the same output of power because he did not get any stronger between the sprints, however his performance is beingeffected because the same power is now being used to move an object of greater mass.
Super scientific? I guess if high school physics are "super scientific"..........................................
