This is just an observation.When a car is putting out 100 WHP (we'll use that fifteen percent example) then it is making 115 at the flywheel. Does it not make sense that a 600 WHP car is trying to spin the drivetrain faster, and therefore needs to use more power getting the power to the wheels? I would agree with Paul that the percentages were made simply to estimate power at the flywheel, but there is some logic to saying that a 600 WHP car is losing a lot more along the way than a 100 WHP car. A set percentage for all cars is kind of unreasonable though.</blockquote>
