Actually, I was under the impression that the old specs on my 83 BMW were measured at the wheels. Maybe they stopped? My old BMW was rated at around 125-130, but it would kill any car rated in that range. When I talked to a tech at BMW and asked why it was rated so low he said it was rated at the wheels and showed me some literature that confirmed it. I can't remember who wrote the literature since it has been a while, but I will say it stuck in my mind. I'm not saying its true, but that was what I learned.
