theres and evin bigger loss in RWD cars






more like double that.

12%-15% is mtx loss, the atx is near 25%




well do the math

170 x 12% = 20.4 which is 149.6hp

170 x 25% = 42.5 which is 127.5 hp

hmm, we def got 150hp reading so i only calculated a 12% loss
front wheel drive has less drivetrain loss than rwd

dont get me wrong , i know nothign about contours, but my calculation only gave me a 12% loss
