i have seen a few gs's put dow 160 + to the wheels bone stock 1 of them being KhaosTactics who lives about 2 minutes away from me

modded untuned there is no way ur gonna even b at 160 whp. fully bolted, some weight reduction, heat reduction and a flawless tune u can hit the 180 whp mark no problem.

Engine output (HP/torque) is measured at the crank. The final output at the wheels can be ascertained on a dyno but even then, the results aren't completely reliable, esp the Dynojet dyno vs the Mustang dyno.

Google up these kinds of questions. It's applicable to every car out there.

Autos can also make dyno pulls difficult. On a manual, they will usually use third gear and hold it throughout the rpm range. Autos like to kick-down when you get on it, so getting the car to hold one gear can be difficult on some models.

I don't see how any stock GS is making 160 whp with absolutely no mods... The dyno it was on must have been a bad one because I have a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust and an intake and when I dynoed it I was at 140 whp. The whp is always gonna be lower than it is to the crank but not just by 2 hp.

no fearlezz is not lying nor wrong, i remember khaotastics thread like it was yesterday, he used some crazy named dyno to pull on, and indeed laid down 160ish

regardless, the 160whp bone stock is bullshit. he needs to redyno using a mustang or a dynojet, something weve all used before. until then, i will call those numbers inflated due to a malfunctioning dyno.
