Australia's Holden LS3 equipped cars versus Corvette C7 Stingray and C7 Z06-the real extent of horsepower failure of the newest Corvettes

On the surface, the LT1 and LT4 seventh generation of Corvette, at least according to +General Motors sales brochures and douchebag +Tadge Juechter produce the highest power output of pushrod V8'd ever.  Of course, this is what GM would like everyone to think but in reality and never mind the previous LS7 motor, here is another twist to this story, directly from Australia and the last of the LS3 using Holden vehicles.

The specs play out as follows:

HSV Gen-F Clubsport
6.2L LS3 V8  424/405

HSV Gen-F Clubsport R8
6.2L LS3 V8  435/ 405

HSV Gen-F Clubsport R8 Tourer
6.2L LS3 V8 435/ 405

HSV Gen-F Clubsport R8 SV Enhanced Option
6.2L LS3 V8 455 / 455

HSV Gen-F Maloo
6.2L LS3 V8 424 / 405

HSV Gen-F Maloo R8
6.2L LS3 V8 435/ 405

HSV Gen-F Senator Signature
6.2L LS3 V8 455/ 420

HSV Gen-F GTS
6.2L LSA V8 430 / 545

And now, there is this one:

2015 HSV Clubsport R8 Magnuson Build with 688 RWHP!!!

The bad part is that this is still Roots type blower, offering strong low end that is more or less wasted due to the limited traction and crapping out at the top but at least, it is 2300 size and with cooling for both blower and engine not exceeding its power potential, like the latest Corvette flagship continues to exhibit.  Would the Corvette be a better car if Aussies designed it? Considering the temperatures down under, at least this flagship piece of shit would not be overheading and habitually going into limp mode...
