Simple math.
My Crossie was 154 at the wheels at 215 crank HP (by the book)
A .29 power loss.
Divide 200 by .71 = 281.69

I am not at 200RWH but close. So that maths out to 280 crank, theoreticaly

I think Muscles' numbers are hopefuly amplified
accurate calculation should be based on 15%. So 200rwhp divided by 0.85 = 235.

.71 is a little over kill in my opinion Franc.

my GT putdown 260rwhp, with .71 it would be 360hp. which is not the case at all.

my cobra put down 455rwhp. with .71 it would be 640hp which was definitely not the case.

a 154rwhp tells me the car was overrated if everything was ok with the engine.

Didnt gary put down something like 17x to the wheels stock? I dont remember that exactly.
