Yeah... that'll happen!

 

If you want to get picky about it 472.2 /.85=559.
Or really picky...
555 HP x 15% loss (remember it is drive train LOSS) =472.2.
But c'mon whats a few numbers between friends.

 

Well, RWHP = 475.2 (on the graph).

BHP with 15% drive train LOSS is estimated at 475.2 divided by .85, which = 559.

560 sounds and looks a lot better.

BHP - LOSS = RWHP

559 - LOSS = RWHP

LOSS = (559 x 15%)

559 - (559 x 15%) = 475.2 so it all works out.

OK, you got me... I'm estimating 15.1% drive train loss!

 

Actually, now that I think about it... it's capable of more than that! The turbo is capable of 800 HP... maybe I should put THAT on the tag??

 

It really doesn't mater when you have a TURBO V8 !!!!!
Personally,(because the average Joe doesn't know squat) when somebody asks me about my car's HP I usually tell them,"On a good cold day it makes 298 RWHP". I then can show them the uncorrected graph (says uncorrected on it) and they can go WOW.
It is 283 HP SAE corrected, but this time of year it really does have 298 and you can feel the difference.

 

I know, I know... just wanted to back up my 560!

I decided on engine HP numbers for the tag since that's how they always rate cars from the factory... 225 for my '89, Shelby 350, GT-500, Roush 427R... all BHP numbers.

And geez Kyle you up way past your bedtime pal, whats up with that? lol

 

You have no idea Phil...I usually don't go to bed until about 5 (eastern time).

 

Yikes thats scary, got the nocturnal thing going there Kyle

 

Wow! That's when they make me get up to go to work now.
I think I liked it better when I was on Kyle time.

 

Funny but I'm always @ work in my office @ 5:30AM each Monday thru Friday. On the weekends I sleep in until 6:30AM lol

Not a late night guy but I do like to get up early in the morning, go figure.

 

It gets a bit silly at times. I don't like only have a few hours of daylight to work with every day. It'll have to change soon enough.
