Seems like very little compared to how everyone else exaggerates.
They say the 02 SS is fastest Camaro Chevy ever made. back in 70s they had 350CI with 350HP on the motor, ur sayings my LT only might have 285. That comparison seems weird unless back then they used Lead Driveshafts and all?!!
You lose about 15-16% in a manual transmission car from the crank to the tires. So if your car had 270hp, it would be more like 225-230rwhp.
