How can anyone say 8% or 10% without pulling an engine and putting it on a dyno? Simply saying a 600whp car must have 10% driveline loss because the manufacturer says it has 662hp at the engine makes no sense and is hard to believe. Perhaps they are under rated? 690hp equates to 600whp with 15% driveline loss. That makes more sense imo.

Saw a stock 2013 here in Dallas lay down 589rwhp which is about a 11% drivetrain loss. Most magazines I've notice are getting about the same. 10-15% is pretty standard.
