at least you don’t have a 1.3 that puts out 66hp imagine the loss…especially in 4wd

in most manual rwd cars shown on a dyno jet, you’ll see a 15-18% loss

now… mods like aluminum and carbon driveshafts. lightened flywheels can reduce this drivetrain loss %.

Those are the numbers I’ve heard too. Higher end for auto.

I think as HP gets higher and higher the percentage rule of thumb starts to be off and gets closer to a fixed value. I have no links to back this up though.
