Default Run in with Chevy SSR

We both rolled into them and we stayed side by side? Short roll on but 25- 40 or so mph. Looked it up and it's like almost 400 HP. Is that right? Thought they where 6 cyl?

The figures I've seen are low 15's and high 13's. They went from the 300 hp 5.3L and a mandatory automatic to the 400 hp 6.0L LS2 and an optional 6-speed. I don't know how to tell the difference by looking at them.
