I know you have to take into account 4 wheel drive transmission loss but what would 400bhp at the fly be at the wheels roughy.Just need it for a guide.

Tidgy

320 give or take.

Entirely depends upon the rolling road type being used.

Tidgy

actualy its dependant on the car's transmission loss, but thats get picky lol

I was told by one of the chaps at Cosworth that the CS400 makes around 335bhp at the wheels.

Surely it's the wheel horse power that's important??

romford-boy

Yep, which is why once up and running there are so many 2wd cars that Impreza's can't drop.

400whp would be excessive 500 Crank Hp i would have though.

If you want to get picky, you're not even scratching the surface..... I could bore you to death about other factors that are way more involved than "simple" transmission loses, when it comes to WHP measurement.

A fully open dccd box has lower transmission losses than a viscous diff box

Tidgy

oil viscosity as a starter for ten? hahahaha


hahah yeah, in reality its an educated, calculated guess

Shaun

If it was only as simple as that.

There is more than a simple factor of WHP with regard to car a, accelerating faster than car b "on the road", when we're talking about two distinctly different cars as you're alluding to.
