I always here 15% or 18% or whatever depending on if it is RWD, FWD, Auto, Stick... Anyway what I do not get is that the percentage of the power is always the same. If a guy puts his car on the dyno and makes 200hp but with the 15% loss his engine is making more around 230hp. But another guy goes on the dyno and makes 600hp but with the 15% he is making 690hp??? Say they are both mustangs with the same drivetrain..... Why does the same drivetrain lose 60 more hp just because the engine is making more power?I am probably just missing something really simple, I just thought I would see what you all think.</blockquote>
