Re: Caranddriver: More on the GT-R's real horsepower

Wow, by bringing up other cars, you're not proving your point, but adding to the confusion. And I don't mean that in a bad way.....it sounds harsher than what I'm trying to say. It's great discussion material no doubt.

All I am doing is showing the math. If the GT-R makes 420 hp on a dyno, then the flywheel HP is 526 hp based on 20% drivetrain loss. If the loss is just 12%, which is possible, but seems a bit unlikely to me seeing how it does have 2 drive shafts, AWD, DSG etc.......then 480 flywheel horsepower = 422.4 wheel hp. And that's very close to what you're saying.
