Question on BHP???
Just wonderd, when people are quoting the BHP of there Scoobies, is that at the wheels, or at the Flywheel? e.g. standerd Newage Impreza 220ish BHP, Newage Impreza with PPP 270ish BHP, where are these measurements taken from?

It also happens to be a far more reliable measure, than a software derived flywheel figure.

...that will never happen. Quoting BHP, or even the slightly higher PS, is a marketing tool.
Comparing wheel bhp on rolling roads is pretty usefull, more so on the same day. I've used flywheel bhp (with a standard rate of transmission loss for different drivetypes in the formulas) on my site becuase you'll be surprised how many people don't know their own, or manufacturers wheel bhp.

With car manufacturers, you're right, but there's no reason why we have to follow suit, is there ?
Just depends if people want to live in the real world, or feel better about themselves
