[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16266086, member: 68944"] No. I know what you’re speaking of. The theory is disproven. Component weight, rpm, final drive ratio, gearing, wheel/tire weight and height all factor into the loss. Why does a v8 m3 make 320-340whp from 414hp. 8500rpm... 15-20% drivetrain loss. Now, look at this [URL]https://www.motortrend.com/news/mustang-power-we-dyno-the-2011-ford-mustang-50-v8-and-37-v6-8060[/URL] Notice how the v6 mustang with the same transmission and almost the same drivetrain as the gt gets assumed to make 308hp vs 305hp with the “15%” loss, but the GT gets revised to an assumed 435hp? That gt also made substantially more power than bmw’s e92 v8 m3’s at the wheels. The gt350 loses more power to the wheels than the mustang gt, while also revving 1000rpm higher. I rest my case.
