I think a big reason the domestic hp estimates were on the conservative side has to do with Ford getting caught fudging on the Cobra numbers in the 90's. Since then, most GM and Ford engines have been underrated, some by a considerable margin.Actually they underrated them big time during the muscle car days also you can't tell me the 426 hemi and the 429 cobra jects only made 425hp area shit i read an archived aritcle that they did a rear wheel hp test on both and they were both around 500hp at the rear wheels

From what i took from the article is yes it's byised like ALL news or articles are, but at the same time their are different ways and types of flywheel horsepower, it also varies with air temp, humidiy and a ton of other factors... shit the same motor to motor one right after another on the line can come out easly with 10hp differnce on the same motor tested in controled conditions.... anyone that buys one car cause it's rated at 10 or 20 hp more than another is a moron PERIOD!!!!
