Re: Your prediction for the official 2012 Camaro ZL1 horsepower? Closest guess WINS!
On a similar but different note:
1. Is reguessing allowed in the case that the number you guess was already guessed, so that the modded rule is "only one qualifying guess per person" or because of the keychain offer your first guess is the guess that counts?
2. I think I figured out the reason for the "price is right" style of play. If we take how it is now, say the ZL1 HP is 573 and I hadn't guessed that number, then Hector95Z28 and jg95z28 both have equal claim to the prize because they are the exact same number off from the winning number. Because of the price is right style, this eliminates the possibility for a tie by instantly disqualifying jg95z28 due to being over and Hector95Z28 wins. . . .I should have picked two members with easier names.
So yeah, price is right style may seem silly when you are 1 over and closest is 10 under, but it immediately solves the problem when they are equidistant.

You are all damn lucky I did the list for my own personal amusement/ocd or else I would be out for your blood with it's complete and utter disregard.

610 hp is my final answer but I was leaning heavily towards 590 hp, SLP has the ZL585 so I think we will be equal to or slightly better than that performance benchmark in my opinion.
Update: I see this is already taken.
606 hp is my last and final answer, not what I wanted but it was available.

If the real number is 575, and there are guesses of 574 and 576, then the 574 could be declared the winner, price is right style.
But if there is a 572 and a 576, the 576 would win (delta of 1 vs delta of 3).
