Despite its 4100 pound curb weight, the G8 GT pulls just 11.3 pounds for every horsepower, where your 911 lugs 15.3 lbs/hp.
If 15% is the correct power loss assumption and if the dyno was accurate, my engine makes 205 hp. The car weighs about 2400 lbs. That's under 12 lbs/hp. I could give that G8 a struggle. I'd probably pull him from 80 up.
