That's incredible. Love that torque curve too....or torque platform?

352 horsepower and 383 foot pounds of torque to the wheels. Very impressive. Thank you for posting this up!

I'm not sure how much I would read into that. Dynojets are known for showing way higher numbers than say a mustang Dyno. IMO all dynos can really show you is how much difference you get when doing mods. Test it, put the mod on and test again on the same Dyno, see what change you got...

Impressive if that's at the wheels

Completely agree.

People refer to the Dynojet as the "Dream Maker" and the Mustang Dyno as the "Heart Breaker".

yes it's at the wheels and if you factor in the typical 15% drivetrain loss that means we're at about 400 hp at the crank along with 450 or so ft.lb. of torque. this would explain why the stinger is as fast as it is. i'm pretty sure it's a little heavier than the infiniti q50 red sport 400 which is alittle bit faster.

That's a lot of torque. No wonder it's beating the Mustang GT in the quarter mile!
