Newer cars are pretty efficient mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by someone that when you convert that to horsepower it comes pretty close to what it would be at the engine in kw, anyone else heard this theory?, first time for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrglen Member 12 Member For: 16y 3m 8d Posted 11/10/08 06:12 AM Share Posted 11/10/08 06:12 AM hi, that's the figure I was working with.. what ever hp you have at the rear wheels is aprox what kw you have at the flywheel.. so 286rwkw divided by .746 gives 383hp so this is normally what kw you would have at the flywheel....cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penko Member 40 Member For: 16y 8m 24d Posted 12/10/08 10:43 AM Share Posted 12/10/08 10:43 AM It was a manual which comes to around 332 with 17% loss then.I have seen a couple of W427's pull low 290 but their supposed to be 370 something but that is only 340 with 17% loss?.To many variables hey.
