Back in the day they also rated true hp down for insurance reasons too. Even up to and including the gn's back in the day. 245hp gn as per manufacturer...yeah right..dyno higher than that. Even some srt neons dyno'd to the wheels what dodge was saying it made to the crank.
Can't compare quarter mile old school vrs new. Skinny ass tires and soft suspensions in the old cars..tire hop and weight distribution during the start would kill the old ones before they even got really going....compared to an ls1 car.
