I meant for power to the ground VS stated power? Were the imports showing comparitively weak numbers on the dyno due to over-estimates? Domestics better than expected? In essence, do the old or new stated numbers mean much when it comes to power to the ground?

Not really since all dynos read differently and each car has a different % of powertrain loss. Its tough to compare results from one dyno to another while still remaining accurate.
