I know you can't lose bhp but weight does affect times/speed.

SRT-6 = 3200lbs SRT-8= 4300lbs.....................that's what mine weigh at least


every 100lbs of weight shed/lost= .1 faster 1/4 and/or 10 horsepower generally


as far as RWHP and BHP goes...........most cars generally lose 17-20% hp through the drivetrain(FWD or RWD) and it's even higher on AWD vehicles.
