Largely because if the dynos are to be believed the claimed 336hp (approx 286wh) and 365tq is far off. With car and driver's dyno showing 339 wheel horsepower and 427 lb-ft and others around the same, that suggests that the actual power output is around 390hp and 427tq. Far from what had been advertised. With this is mind and with the car being 10k cheaper than the base C8 it is still a damn good deal. With that said I will be getting a C8.
