that is my calculation, pretty basic. other people use 13%, 15%, 20% but i believe that this is the most accurate way of measuring drivetrain loss from 465bhp (or any bhp number):

FWD - 15% loss (465 * .85 = 395.25 whp)
RWD - 17% loss (465 * .83 = 385.95 whp)
AWD - 20% loss (465 * .80 = 372 whp)

the facts are the dyno(s) that i posted in my previous post. this kind of horsepower is def. attainable with the N54. :smile:

Have you not read any of my posts..?

Additionally, that is not how drivertrain loss is calculated.
