That's what I always though the drivetrain loss was, but X'ed says different, I believe the auto is more efficient than 17%. Now maybe he is right, and your dynoing on an AWD dyno is creating more drivetrain loss by turning the front rollers, than that used on a 2WD dyno would put out. But then again chassis Dynos are never really that accurate compared to say an engine dyno.

Have you taken the SRT6 to a 1/4 mile track yet? Any numbers?
